An MRI test gave the Nuggets the best bad news of the year.⁠ ⁠ Nikola Jokic will miss at least four weeks while recovering from a hyperextended left knee, the team announced Tuesday, but his ACL was spared in an ominous-looking injury Monday night. Testing on Tuesday revealed no ligament damage that would entail season-ending surgery.⁠ ⁠ The Nuggets were playing the Miami Heat when Jokic crumpled to the ground holding his knee at the tail end of the first half. Denver’s Spencer Jones stepped on Jokic’s left foot, causing the leg to extend then buckle. The three-time MVP center limped to the locker room and didn’t return to the game, which Denver went on to lose, 147-123. It was tied at halftime.⁠ ⁠ Read the latest update at the link in our bio.⁠ ⁠ 📝: Bennett Durando, The Denver Post⁠ 📷: AAron Ontiveroz, The Denver Post // aaronontiveroz⁠ ⁠ #Nuggets #Jokic #Joker #NBA #DenverNuggets
