The fallout from Nikola Jokic’s left knee injury has the potential to be massive. One possible ramification, though, is flying under the radar: The Denver Nuggets could trade Peyton Watson before the three-time MVP ever returns.
Jokic is slated to miss at least the next four weeks with his hyperextended left knee. If he returns exactly after 28 days, he’ll take the court again a little more than a week before the February trade deadline.
But this is a big if.
Denver’s update on Jokic’s status says he will be re-evaluated in four weeks.
