On their major showdown against the OKC Thunder this Sunday, the Denver Nuggets have announced that Nikola Jokic (knee) is good to go and will be playing.

Jokic was initially listed as probable, but he appeared to be well and ready in preparation of their key matchup against the Thunder.

After a 16-game absence, Jokic returned last Friday to lead the Nuggets' 122-109 win over the LA Clippers. He was back like he never left, finishing with 31 points, 12 boards, five assists and three steals in just 25 minutes of play.

Jokic and the Nuggets will face the Thunder just for the first time this season. They notably went toe-to-toe in last year's Western Conference Semifinals, in which the Thunder prevailed in seven gruelling games.
