Nikola Jokic's son is born and he is back to play for the Nuggets in the NBA Cup.

According to a source close to the team, Nikola Jokic has made his return to the Nuggets' lineup after taking some time off to be with his family. Jokic and his wife Natalija recently welcomed a new addition to their family, a newborn son, and the star player stayed in Denver while his teammates went on a three-game road trip. Jokic's wife was expecting, and he wanted to be by her side during this special time. The couple also has a 3-year-old daughter named Ognjena.

Jokic made his comeback just in time for the Nuggets' NBA Cup game against the Mavericks on Friday night. He was not able to attend practice on Thursday, but he was determined to be there for his team. During Jokic's absence, Dario Saric stepped up as the starting center, while Aaron Gordon also had to sit out due to a calf strain. The Nuggets ended up winning one game and losing two without their three-time MVP, highlighting his importance to the team.
