- Jokic reportedly set to return from knee injury after missing about a month, with an expected return around late January 2026 as Denver balanced rehab with playoff push. This was described in multiple outlets as Jokic being listed questionable but aiming to play against the Clippers and potentially others around that timeframe.
- Injuries: He suffered a hyperextended left knee with a bone bruise on December 29, and initial plans called for a four-week re-evaluation, with teams noting he could return before the All-Star break.
- In-season context: Jokic has been averaging near MVP-level numbers when healthy, leading a Nuggets club navigating extended absence while still competing for seeding, with discussions of how his return could impact MVP eligibility if he reaches the 65-game threshold.
