Nikola Jokić of the Denver Nuggets suffered a hyperextension in his left knee during a game against the Miami Heat and will be sidelined for at least four weeks. Fortunately, tests revealed that his knee ligaments are intact, avoiding severe injury. While Jokić’s absence is a setback, the Nuggets will rely on other players as they already face injuries to three starters. Jokić’s MVP candidacy may be jeopardized if he misses significant time, as he needs to play in at least 65 games for year-end awards eligibility.
