That’s 24 games until post-break. A lot of ripple effects here. Two of them: Nuggets will likely drop to the play-in, which really stinks for the top seeds. And Jokic wouldn’t qualify for awards, paving the way for SGA to go back to back.

Nikola Jokić will miss at least four weeks with a hyperextension in his left knee, per @ShamsCharania

Jokic is in the midst of a historic campaign so far and this will be the most time he has ever missed through 11 NBA seasons, having played in 69-70+ games in all 10 previous years. Denver avoided a catastrophic injury Monday night in Miami but now is down four of five starters.

Injury Update: Nikola Jokić suffered a Left Knee Hyperextension injury during last night's game at the Miami Heat. Nikola will be re-evaluated in four weeks.

Just in: Denver Nuggets' Nikola Jokic has been diagnosed with a hyperextension in his left knee and will miss at least four weeks. An immense sigh of relief as tests show the three-time NBA MVP's knee ligaments are intact.
