Nikola Jokic set to return to the floor after 4-game absence

Nikola Jokic is available to play tonight after missing Denver’s last four games.

Denver Nuggets star center Nikola Jokic is available to return from injury against the Miami Heat on Monday (7:30 ET, NBA TV), the team announced pregame.

The reigning Kia NBA MVP has been sidelined for the last four games with a right wrist sprain. Jokic is averaging 26.4 points, 13.6 rebounds, 6.4 assists and 1.2 steals over 14 games this season.

The Nuggets (9-10) hope Jokic’s return will help the team snap their current 6-game losing streak.
