Coach Michael Malone says Nikola Jokic plans to return “at some point” during Denver’s upcoming five-game homestand as he recovers from a left ankle impingement.
Jokic has missed four straight games and is unlikely to play Monday vs. the Bulls, but he’s progressing after a pregame shooting session. Despite battling both ankle and elbow issues, Jokic is averaging a career-best 29.1 points and 10.3 assists per game, maintaining MVP-level form.
