The Denver Nuggets remain one of the best teams in the Western Conference, and with their superstar Nikola Jokic back on the court, they are well positioned to make another deep run in the NBA playoffs.
Jokic hyperextended his left knee in late December, forcing him to miss 16 games, the longest absence of his 11-year career. However, the 30-year-old Serbian center returned in late January and has picked up right where he left off.
Before going down, Jokic had continued to play at an MVP-level. He already has an impressive NBA legacy as a three-time league MVP, seven-time All-Star and seven-time All-NBA selection, and this year he is looking to add a second NBA title with such a talented group around him.
