According to David Adelman, Jokic has been antsy about being unavailable for a significant time for the Nuggets.
As the recovery grind continues for Nikola Jokic, the Denver Nuggets superstar is reportedly agitated about what might await him in his looming on-court return.

Head coach David Adelman dropped the revelation ahead of the team's Friday matchup against the Atlanta Hawks, further noting that Jokic hasn't been significantly inactive since this point.
"I know he’s antsy. He’s never been hurt. We all know what that’s like," Adelman said.
"People that have played sports and got hurt know the worst part is just sitting around. And that’s somebody that never misses games. It’s funny, I had this conversation with my staff. I understand the 65-game rule, but a guy that never misses games for a decade, it bothers me a little bit. This is not somebody that’s sitting out. He never sits out. So I know he’s anxious to get back, and it’s a process for him as well."
