Denver Nuggets star Nikola Jokic entered the NBA's health and safety protocols and is listed as out for Wednesday's contest against the New York Knicks.

The reigning two-time MVP will be joined on the sidelines by guard Bones Hyland, who's set to miss a third straight game due to protocols. Forward Aaron Gordon is questionable with a non-COVID illness.

Jokic is averaging 20.8 points, 9.5 rebounds, 8.9 assists, and 1.5 steals through 13 games. Denver has a 9-4 record - tied with the Portland Trail Blazers for the best in the West.
