I can’t tell you how excited I am to share A HUNDRED INVISIBLE THREADS.
And for people to discover the rich, interesting, and largely untold history of basketball in Serbia. Jokic didn’t just happen. There is a reason so many basketball players have come from ex-Yugoslavia. pic.twitter.com/9hi5h1AAHm2:34 AM

Tonight’s one-point win moves Denver back to a total +/- of 0.
+112 with Jokic ON
-112 with Jokic OFF – 12:35 AM
Ryan Blackburn @NBABlackburn
After tonight’s win, DeAndre Jordan has a -3.9 net rating through 14 games played.
It’s still early, but the Nuggets can clearly work with that if it persists upon Joker’s return. – 12:27 AM
Tim MacMahon @espn_macmahon
Mavs have now managed to lose to the Nuggets with Nikola Jokic, Jamal Murray and Aaron Gordon; the Wizards without Bradley Beal and Kristaps Porzingis; the Magic without Paolo Banchero; and the Pelicans without Brandon Ingram and Zion Williamson. – 9:59 PM
Duvalier Johnson @DuvalierJohnson
Nuggets were down Nikola Jokic, Jamal Murray and Aaron Gordon and pulled off an improbable win against a team they were just blown out by a couple of days ago.
Bones Hyland set a new career high of 29 points in the game to lead the way. – 9:55 PM
Callie Caplan @CallieCaplan
Add the Jokic-less, Murray-less Nuggets to the list of teams Mavs have lost to despite best opposing players out.
That’s 5 instances in 16 games, by my count. – 9:54 PM
John Hollinger @johnhollinger
Home against Denver without Jokic or Murray. That’s a rough L for Dallas. – 9:53 PM
Duvalier Johnson @DuvalierJohnson
With 27 points, Bones Hyland has matched his career-high.
Still 5 minutes to go here as he has the Nuggets tied up at 93-93 down Nikola Jokic, Jamal Murray and Aaron Gordon.
Tough competitor. – 9:39 PM
Jamal Murray @BeMore27
VLATKO!!!!! He works on that! – 8:53 PM
Mark Followill @MFollowill
Mavs and Nuggets about to tip off on BSSW. Mavs won the opener of this two game series 127-99 on Friday. The Mavs shot 73.3% on 2pters in the game. The 3rd best 2pt FG% in a game in team history. Denver still without Nikola Jokic, Jamal Murray and Aaron Gordon. – 7:37 PM
Michael Singer @msinger
Latest injury report for tonight’s #Nuggets game: Bones Hyland has been added. He’s probable with left hip soreness. Ish Smith is now questionable with his calf strain. AG still questionable, and Joker/Jamal are both out due to health and safety. – 4:38 PM
Stefan Bondy @SBondyNYDN
Knicks again catch a break. Missed Nikola Jokic and now missing Chris Paul, who is out of this afternoon’s game with a sore heel. – 10:52 AM
Harrison Wind @HarrisonWind
Nikola Jokic is listed as out for Sunday at the Mavericks. So is Jamal Murray. Both still in health and safety protocols. – 8:39 PM
