Nikola Jokic (COVID-19) expected to fly with Nuggets
Denver Nuggets center Nikola Jokic (COVID-19) is expected to fly with the team to Orlando on Tuesday, per head coach Mike Malone.
What It Means:
“Nikola feels great,” Malone said. “From everything I’ve heard and talking to him, he feels great and feels fine and is excited to get back.” Even if Jokic doesn't make the flight, he's fully expected to be on the floor when the Nuggets tip things off against the Miami Heat on August 1.
