Foul trouble, not his bruised knee, was the only thing that could’ve kept Nikola Jokic off the floor Friday night. With his status in question in the days following his knee-to-knee collision with Utah’s Rudy Gobert, Nuggets trainers ran their franchise centerpiece through an exhaustive array of tests. “They’ve been making him go through the protocols, the testing, different drills and they felt that he was more than capable of getting out there and playing tonight,” Nuggets coach Michael Malone said in the aftermath of the Nuggets’ 106-75 drubbing of the Mavericks. Jokic said he had an MRI that revealed no structural damage, and as long as his knee didn’t feel weak, he intended to play. “If there is a chance for me to play, I’m gonna play,” he said following his 11-point, 16-rebound, 8-assist showing that helped snap Denver’s two-game losing streak.
