Nikola Jokic will return from a left knee bone bruise on Friday for the Denver Nuggets’ game against the Los Angeles Clippers, having been sidelined since December 29 due to a hyperextension. He remains eligible for MVP and All-NBA awards as he aims for the league’s 65-game threshold, having finished first or second in MVP voting since 2021. Jokic also plans to play against the Oklahoma City Thunder on Sunday, facing fellow MVP contender Shai Gilgeous-Alexander. Despite his absence, the Nuggets posted a 10-6 record and currently hold a 32-16 standing, ranking third in the Western Conference.
