Double-doubles in return
Jokic (knee) notched 31 points (8-11 FG, 2-3 3Pt, 13-17 FT), 12 rebounds, five assists and three steals across 25 minutes in Friday's 122-109 win over the Clippers.
Analisi
Jokic returned to action following a 16-game absence due to a left knee bone bruise and impressed in limited minutes. The three-time MVP operated under a minutes restriction, which may continue to be the case in the short term as the Nuggets ease their superstar back into a full workload. However, he still recorded game-high marks in points and rebounds, and he has logged a double-double or better in all but four of his 33 regular-season outings. Additionally, Jokic tallied a game-high three steals and has registered multiple swipes 15 times this season.

Will play Friday
Jokic (knee) is available for Friday's game against the Clippers.
Analisi
This will be Jokic's first game in over a month, so while he will start, the three-time MVP will have his minutes monitored, according to Vic Lombardi of Altitude Sports. Jonas Valanciunas will likely head back to the second unit with Jokic active, and Zeke Nnaji's minutes will see a sizable dip. Even with a minutes restriction, Jokic is a must-start option.

Plans to return Friday
Jokic (knee) plans to return to the floor Friday against the Clippers, ESPN's Shams Charania reports.
Analisi
This is a major surprise for Denver, but certainly a welcome one. It was reported Jan. 27 that Jokic wouldn't be re-evaluated for another week, but the superstar center is ahead of schedule in his rehab and will bolster Denver's frontcourt. With this news, Jonas Valanciunas is likely to retreat to the second unit. For what it's worth, the official injury report lists Jokic as questionable.

Re-evaluated in one week
Jokic (knee) will be re-evaluated in about one week, ESPN's Shams Charania reports.
Analisi
"He is making great progress; he's in the ramp-up phase of his return-to-play process," Charania added. Jokic, who hasn't played since Dec. 29 due to a left knee bone bruise, was cleared for on-court workouts on Jan. 14. He has continued to trend in the right direction, setting up a potential return in early February.
