Nikola Jokic really struggled to shoot against the Clippers.

Nikola Jokic faced significant struggles against the Clippers, marking the worst shooting performance of his career with a 9/32 record.

Following the defeat, Jokic addressed the media, attributing the poor shooting to a combination of factors, including the Clippers’ strong defense.

Despite his challenging night, Jokic displayed excellence against the Clippers, delivering an impressive stat line of 22 points, 15 rebounds, and 10 assists. Notably, he remained a +1 in a nine-point loss.

The issue for the Nuggets extended beyond Jokic’s shooting woes; they struggled to involve Michael Porter Jr. effectively. While Porter Jr. had a standout night with 18 points on 7/8 shooting, the team failed to capitalize on his performance, particularly in the fourth quarter.
