Nikola Jokic will miss at least four weeks due to a hyperextended left knee, a relief for the Denver Nuggets as it is not a season-ending injury. The reigning three-time MVP was hurt during a loss to Miami and will be re-evaluated after missing about 16 games. Despite playing without several starters, the Nuggets remain third in the Western Conference but have struggled historically when Jokic is absent. Jokic is having a standout season, leading the NBA in rebounds and assists while shooting a career-best from three-point range.
