The Denver Nuggets' dream came true on Friday when three-time NBA MVP Nikola Jokic was officially made available to make his return to the court after a month-long injury absence.

Nikola Jokic had 31 points and 12 rebounds in his first game in a month to lead the Nuggets over the Clippers 122-109.

“Denver's Nikola Jokic – out since Dec. 29 with a knee injury – plans to return tonight against the Los Angeles Clippers at home,” ESPN’s Shams Charania reported on X/Twitter.
