After finding out that Nikola Jokic has a bone bruise on his knee and will be reevaluated in four weeks, the Nuggets quickly got an even more positive update. During the team’s game against the Cavaliers on Friday night, Cassidy Hubbarth, for Amazon Prime, reported that the Nuggets are “pleasantly surprised” with Jokic’s progress, that he has been working on the exercise bike, and using the stairs.
This was after Jokic was seen on video walking into the game in street clothes, appearing to be in great spirits, and walking comfortably, almost with a pep in his step - certainly not showing any sign of a limp.
