Nikola Jokić

Nuggets Injury

Nikola Jokić is reportedly making progress in his recovery from a knee injury, as he’s resumed on-court workouts. Shams Charania suggests the Denver Nuggets’ center remains on track for a late-January return, potentially ahead of schedule. During Jokić’s absence, Aaron Gordon has filled in capably as the small-ball five, with Zeke Nnaji contributing 22 minutes off the bench in a recent win against the Pelicans. Fantasy managers might consider adding Gordon, who has consistently logged over 30 minutes in back-to-back games.

Nuggets Injury

Nikola Jokić is set to miss at least four weeks due to a hyperextended left knee, dealing a significant blow to fantasy managers relying on the star’s production. While he avoided a more severe injury, Denver will need to adjust, with Jonas Valančiūnas stepping into the starting center role. Jamal Murray is likely to see more of the offensive burden, while Tim Hardaway Jr. and Bruce Brown may also see increased roles during Jokić’s recovery.
