Nikola Jokić is making significant strides toward recovery from a knee injury, as ESPN’s Shams Charania reports he will be re-evaluated in a week. Jokić, who has missed 14 consecutive games, is currently in the ramp-up phase of his return-to-play process. In his absence, Denver is relying on Jonas Valančiūnas and Zeke Nnaji to handle the majority of the big man responsibilities.
