Will Nikola Jokic’s conditioning be an issue when the NBA resumes play?

Denver Nuggets star center Nikola Jokic has never had the type of physique that you think of when it comes to professional athletes.

While that storyline is tried and perhaps tired, with the league suspending the NBA season on March 11 and not planning to resume the season until July 31 (per The Athletic’s Shams Charania), that four and a half month layoff begs the question of how Jokic will look when the Nuggets take the floor again.

Jokic is unlikely to be sitting around all day, eating non-healthy foods and failing to work out.
