It's been 29 days since Nikola Jokiu0107 last suited up for the Denver Nuggets, so in other words, it's felt like an eternity. He suffered a left knee hyperextension in a game against the Heat on Dec. 29, and the team announced he'd be re-evaluated in four weeks. That amount of time has passed, and on Tuesday, ESPN NBA insider Shams Charania reported that the star center would be re-evaluated in a week.
You shouldn't have expected the Nuggets to clear Jokiu0107 to return after four weeks, although, as Charania said, he has been progressing well.
