That didn’t stop him from cheering on his Nuggets from the front row last night in their 108–104 victory over Milwaukee.
Not only that, the Serbian center took on a coaching role at times, giving advice to his teammates during breaks.
_“We saw a fiery speech during the last huddle, delivered by ‘coach’ Nikola Jokić,”_ said a game commentator.
_“You can see him. You can see him talking to the players, saying: ‘Guys, they’re going to come out aggressive, you know they will, match that energy, box out, box out!’”_ he added.
Jokić is expected to miss the entire month of January due to injury. This season, he is averaging 29.6 points, 12.2 rebounds, and 11 assists.
