Nuggets lose Jokic, fall to Heat as Thunder rally to beak Hawks
Gulf Today
|December 31, 2025
Nikola Jokic suffered a “gut-wrenching” knee injury as the Denver Nuggets crashed to a heavy 147-123 defeat against the Miami Heat in the NBA on Monday.
-
Three-time NBA Most Valuable Player Jokic exited in the final seconds of the first half of Denver's loss in Miami after an accidental collision with teammate Spencer Jones.
The 30-year-old Serbian superstar collapsed to the court in agony after his left leg appeared to buckle after Jones stepped on his foot while attempting to defend a drive.
Jokic, who had scored 21 points, did not reappear for the second half and Miami capitalised to outscore the Nuggets 84-60 after the break to cruise to victory.
