The Boston Celtics’ upcoming schedule just got a little bit easier. Boston’s upcoming Jan. 7 matchup against the Denver Nuggets won’t see the Cs having to try and slow down Nuggets superstar Nikola Jokic.

Jokic is expected to miss at least four weeks of play after hyperextending his knee on Monday night against the Miami Heat. Denver’s trip to TD Garden, of course, falls in that span.
