Nuggets head coach David Adelman was interviewed and talked about Jokic's playing time.
Adelman said: "We are very clear that one of the most important tasks in the new season is to protect him. If we can make it smoothly, we must make sure that he can play in the best condition. So yes, this is a matter that needs to be handled with caution - but it must be achieved through scientific planning, which is exactly what we need to do."
Last season, Jokic averaged 36.7 minutes of playing games, and in the playoffs, Jokic averaged 40.2 minutes of playing games.
