Denver Nuggets fans held their breath in fright when Nikola Jokic collided with Utah Jazz center Rudy Gobert in a game against the Denver Nuggets.
The touch left the Nuggets in excruciating pain as he grabbed his right knee. The MVP pulled back from the first half after colliding with Rudy Gobert
Such a picture will make fans feel the most terrible fear. Nikola Jokic looked uncomfortable and always had more to worry about when his knee hurt. As the Nuggets lost to the Jazz 110-122, Jokic was eliminated.
However, according to Nuggets coach Michael Malone, injuries don't seem as dire as they seem.
When Malone was asked about Jokic's injury after the game, he said: "I don't think it's anything too serious. ”
Malone went on to say that getting Jokic on the floor for the rest of the game was more for precautionary reasons as the Nuggets were in their second night back-to-back.
Michael Malone isn't sure if Jokic's knee needs an extra check. He said when Jokic told him his knees were a bit weak, he decided to have Jokic play at half-time. Malone said it didn't make sense for Nayokic to take risks, especially second place back-to-back.
Jamal Murray is still recovering from a serious knee injury, and the last thing the Nuggets want is for their MVP to be put on the bench as well. Nikolai Jokic is not out of danger yet, but it sounds like they have clearly avoided any seasonal changes for the time being.
