This is great news for the Nuggets and the reigning MVP, who suffered a knee contusion Tuesday against the Jazz.
Jokic knocked knees with Rudy Gobert and missed the entire second half after putting up 24 points in the first half.
Update: Jokic did not suffer any structural damage when he bumped knees with Rudy Gobert Tuesday, according to multiple media reports.
Denver is already without Jamal Murray, so losing Jokic for an extended period of time would be truly devastating.
The Nuggets will still be considered a threat when Murray returns in the second half of the season but Jokic is the central piece of their championship puzzle.
