Jamal Murray can cement himself as an All-Star this next month with Nikola Jokic's absence. I expect his averages to raise from:
25.2 Points
4.4 Rebounds
7 Assists
45.4% 3PT
48.7% FG
Looking for a strong performance to BEAT the Raptors at Home! #JamAllStar #Nuggets
17 games without Jokic? No problem
This man is about to set the NBA on fire
Injury Report ahead of tomorrow's game against the Raptors:
PROBABLE:
Julian Strawther (Illness)
OUT:
Nikola Jokić (Left Knee Injury Management)
Cameron Johnson (Right Knee Injury Management)
Aaron Gordon (Right Hamstring Strain)
Christian Braun (Left Ankle Sprain)
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.
UPDATE
Nikola Jokic has reportedly avoided a serious injury, only suffering a hyperextension in his left knee, per @meridiansportrs
Sam Amick: Source says Jokic is likely to get the full medical testing tomorrow. The Nuggets, or their fans, won’t be resting easy tonight.
Nikola Jokic appears to hyperextend his knee and limps to the locker room after teammate Spencer Jones inadvertently steps on his foot, in more rotten news for the injury-plagued Denver #Nuggets, who are already down 3 starters in Aaron Gordon, Christian Braun and Cam Johnson
