Keeler: Nuggets, Nikola Jokic missed Gary Harris almost as much as Jamal Murray in NBA Playoffs. How screwy is that?

If you thought Nikola Jokic’s ejection was screwy, get a load of this:

Gary Harris in the 2020 Western Conference semifinals averaged more points (10), more 3-point makes (1.9), more steals (1.9) and more blocks (0.3) versus the Clippers than Aaron Gordon (9.0, zero, 1.0 and zero) did against the Suns this past week.

Harris, the former Nuggets wing guard and defensive stopper shot 50% from the floor and 41.9% from beyond the arc in the 2020 semis. Gordon, the current Denver forward who came over from Orlando as the spiciest piece of a swap for Harris just this past March, shot 41% and went 0-for-8 on treys versus Phoenix in ’21.
