Double-doubles in return Jokic (knee) notched 31 points (8-11 FG, 2-3 3Pt, 13-17 FT), 12 rebounds, five assists and three steals across 25 minutes in Friday's 122-109 win over the Clippers.

Impact Jokic returned to action following a 16-game absence due to a left knee bone bruise and impressed in limited minutes. The three-time MVP operated under a minutes restriction, which may continue to be the case in the short term as the Nuggets ease their superstar back into a full workload. However, he still recorded game-high marks in points and rebounds, and he has logged a double-double or better in all but four of his 33 regular-season outings. Additionally, Jokic tallied a game-high three steals and has registered multiple swipes 15 times this season.

Will play Friday Jokic (knee) is available for Friday's game against the Clippers.

Impact This will be Jokic's first game in nearly a month, so while he will start, the three-time MVP will have his minutes monitored. Jonas Valanciunas will likely head back to the second unit with Jokic active, and Zeke Nnaji's minutes will see a sizeable dip. Even with minutes restrictions, Jokic is a must-start option.
