All Nuggets fans, and basketball fans in general, can do is hold their breath after watching Nikola Jokic go down, writhing in pain and clutching his knee on Monday night. Spencer Jones was backpedaling on defense and stepped on Jokic’s foot, who was standing near his own basket.
The Joker went down immediately, clutching his leg in obvious pain. The injury happened just as the buzzer was sounding for halftime, so Jokic got up and limped to the tunnel with the rest of his team. But he didn’t come out for the second half, and he was quickly ruled out for the game with a knee injury.
