Denver Nuggets center Nikola Jokic will be ready to suit up for his squad at the Walt Disney World Resort after retesting negative for the coronavirus, ESPN's Ohm Youngmisuk reports.

Jokic wasn't able to join the Nuggets' travel party Tuesday for their flight to Orlando, however, due to the timing of his testing, Youngmisuk adds.

Jokic first tested positive in his native Serbia on June 23.

Denver enters the NBA season restart sitting third in the Western Conference at 43-22. It begins scrimmage play July 22.
