One of those relationships Jokic has managed to form is with fellow big man Karl-Anthony Towns for the New York Knicks. Both have emerged as some of the best at their position over recent years, and through it all, the two have been able to grow with one another.

The All-Star break is here and many players are getting a much-needed mid-season breather. Denver Nuggets superstar Nikola Jokic is one of the most dominant players in the league, so he's busy with All-Star festivities before the game on Sunday night.

In an unexpected and unceremonious twist, the trade was rescinded after the Lakers, who had intended to pair Hornets center Mark Williams with newcomer Luka Doncic as a lob threat, reportedly balked at Williams’ medicals. He was returned to North Carolina. Knecht was shipped back to the team that traded him.

Kevin Durant adamantly opposes the NBA’s attempt to replace the All-Star Game with a mini-tournament. As for Nikola Jokic? Someone needs to get him caught up by Sunday night.
