Per league protocols, Nuggets center Nikola Jokic did not travel with the team when they flew down to Orlando on Tuesday.
Jokic, who tested positive for COVID-19 in late June, is required to report two negative tests from Serbia, and twice more back in the United States in order to get cleared to travel with the Nuggets.
KK Partizan, a Serbian basketball club, announced that their center, Nikola Jankovic, tested positive for COVID-19 following a team event that Jokic was in attendance at.
Nuggets’ coach Mike Malone said he expected the Serbian center to be with the team for their arrival at the NBA’s bubble site.
