Colorado Avalanche fans were in for a surprise Tuesday night when Denver Nuggets superstar Nikola Jokić and his 2-year-old daughter Ognjena showed up to Ball Arena to watch a game against the Vancouver Canucks.
During the second period, the in-arena cameras shown on the Jumbotron panned to Jokić, whose daughter was clapping along as the crowd chanted, “MVP!”

What a special moment.
Jokić, who played in his sixth career All-Star Game on Sunday, is back in Denver to enjoy the last few days of the NBA’s annual break.
The Nuggets return to the court Thursday to host the Washington Wizards at Ball Arena.
