Nikola Jokic's injury timeline is fooling Nuggets fans into false hope

Listen, I get it. Going without watching Nikola Jokiu0107 suit up for the Denver Nuggets for four weeks is long enough. You don't want to think about not seeing him play for five, six, seven, or dare I say eight weeks. You probably read four weeks and breathed a sigh of relief, as did everyone in Colorado, Serbia, and around the NBA, but the key word is re-evaluated.

Jokiu0107 will be re-evaluated in four weeks, which doesn't mean he'll be cleared to play then. If he is cleared to play, then great, but even then, there'd be a ramp-up period, so it's not like he'd be cleared one afternoon and suit up to play the following night.
