Thankfully, Jokic is asymptomatic since receiving a positive test. Reports suggested he was in contact with a player who tested positive when he was in attendance at a game in Serbia.

The center is expected to be back with the Nuggets in the next week or so, but this just goes to show that no superstar is safe from this deadly virus.

Prayers up for a speedy recovery!
