Nikola Jokic Returns With A 24-15-7 Line
3 years agoDenver Nuggets center Nikola Jokic returned from a four-game absence with 24 points, 15 rebounds and seven assists in Monday's 120-111 win over Miami, shooting 9-for-14 from the field and 5-for-6 at the charity stripe. He tallied one steal as well and threw away the ball once in 33 minutes. The Joker was back from a wrist problem, helping the team to end a six-game slide. He's now recorded 12 double-doubles in 15 appearances this season. The reigning MVP gets two more games this week, starting with Wednesday's battle with the Magic. Orlando has been very kind to opposing centers all season, so Jokic shouldn't have any trouble putting together another nice line.
