Well-rounded line in loss Jokic recorded 19 points (7-16 FG, 1-5 3Pt, 4-6 FT), seven rebounds, six assists, one steal and one block in 34 minutes during Saturday's 125-105 loss to the Heat.

Impact Jokic had a solid effort, but it wasn't enough to fuel the short-handed Nuggets to victory. Next up for Jokic and the Nuggets is matchup Monday against the Thunder, and Steven Adams could present a problem for Jokic on the low block.

Impact Grant tied Nikola Jokic with a team-high 19 points in the re-opener. The performance marked the ninth time this season that Grant has posted at least 19 points. He should continue to see sixth-man minutes in the frontcourt.

Scoreless performance Jokic went scoreless (0-1 FG, 0-2 FT) but posted six rebounds, five assists, and one block in 24 minutes during Monday's 114-110 loss to the Magic.

Impact Jokic notched 16 points in the first scrimmage against the Wizards and later flirted with a triple-double against the Pelicans last Saturday, so it was surprising to see him go scoreless in the final tune-up game before the season opener Aug. 1. Perhaps the most important thing about his return was the fact that he returned to his regular center role, as Jamal Murray started at point guard. Pencil Jokic as one of the go-to players for the Nuggets ahead of Aug. 1 opener against Miami.

Flirts with triple-double Jokic notched 11 points (4-10 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 3-4 FT), 10 rebounds, eight assists, two steals, and one block in 26 minutes during Saturday's 119-104 scrimmage loss against the Pelican...

Impact Jokic got a second straight start at point guard and didn't disappoint. He might look comfortable in that role, but he has been fulfilling that position due to the absence of players such as Jamal Murray (coach decision) and Gary Harris (hip). Jokic is widely expected to move back to his regular center role once the regular season resumes next week.

Leaner version of Jokic ready to carry load for Nuggets

A slimmer version of star center Nikola Jokic is ready to carry the load as the Nuggets return to the court in possession of the No. 3 seed

JULY 23, 2020 • Associated Press

Starts at point guard Jokic amassed 16 points (3-5 FG, 2-2 3Pt, 8-8 FT), seven rebounds, seven assists and one steal in 27 minutes during Wednesday's 89-82 scrimmage win over the Wizards.

Impact Jokic made his return to action Wednesday, playing as the starting point guard. The break has certainly done Jokic a world of good in terms of health, with him now looking as fit as he ever has. While the move to point guard made sense in terms of his dynamic passing ability, it is likely he will shift back to center once the actual seeding games begin. The Nuggets were without basically their top three guards, so it hard to see Jokic running the point on a permanent basis.

Feeling ready to play Jokic intimated Tuesday that he's anxious to return to competitive basketball, Mike Singer of the Denver Post reports.

Impact Jokic has been with the team in Orlando for more than a week, but thus far teams have been limited to intrasquad scrimmages during practice. On Wednesday, the Nuggets will play the first of three scrimmages against a different opponent. With a matchup against Washington approaching, Jokic indicated that he's unsure how much he'll play. "I don't know how many minutes, I don't know how much I am going to play, but I want to play just to see how I am going to be there, just to get some wind in, just some running, just to play some live basketball," Jokic said.
