Denver Nuggets center Nikola Jokic is still in Serbia and waiting to find out when he will be able to board a plane that will take him to Orlando, Florida where his teammates will be waiting for him for the NBA restart.
Per the Denver Post’s Mike Singer, Jokic remains in his native country due to travel complications that prevent him from traveling to the USA. The Serbian center is currently healthy after testing positive for coronavirus three weeks ago.
“We’re trying to work out the logistics right now,” newly appointed Nuggets general manager Calvin Booth said per the Denver Post. “He’s not en route as far as I know. I think he’s waiting just to get a proper flight and get out here. I think he’s feeling good about his situation and is ready to go.”
Nuggets coach Mike Malone has said that he hopes and expects Jokic to be present in the Orlando bubble. Per the NBA rules, players who travel to Orlando must have two negative tests for coronavirus twice if they flight privately and three if they travel via a commercial flight before resuming basketball activities.
