The Nuggets have dodged a major bullet as Nikola Jokic avoided a catastrophic injury on Monday night, only hyperextending his knee. Initially, it looked much worse, but luckily, the superstar big man will be reevaluated in four weeks, as thankfully, there was no ligament damage in his left knee.
In a macro sense, this is incredible news, but in the meantime, Denver is going to have to survive at least a month without their sun, moon, and stars. They’ve already been pushing things to the limit as Aaron Gordon and Christian Braun have been out with injuries since November, and Cam Johnson went down just before Christmas.
