After a relatively slow start to the 2019-20 season, Nikola Jokiu0107 bounced back in a major way throughout the month of December, leading the Nuggets to a 10-6 record in the month.
Although Denver was winning games over the first month or so of the season, Jokiu0107 was still playing his way into form. Once the calendar flipped to December, the Nuggets’ Serbian All-Star took off, as he averaged 20.8 points, 9.4 rebounds and 7.4 assists per game in 16 games this month.
Jokiu0107 was coming off a 2018-19 season in which he made his first All-Star appearance and was named to the All-NBA First Team, a prestigious honor.
