Nuggets rocked as knee injury puts Jokic out of action for four weeks

Denver Nuggets star Nikola Jokic faces at least four weeks on the sidelines after suffering a left knee injury in a defeat to Miami, the Nuggets confirmed on Tuesday.

Three-time NBA Most Valuable Player Jokic collapsed to the court after a collision with teammate Spencer Jones just before halftime in Monday's game in Miami.

The Serbian ace did not return to the game after suffering the injury, which Nuggets coach David Adelman later described as “gut-wrenching”.

Replays of the incident showed Jokic’s knee buckling awkwardly after Jones stepped on his foot while defending, prompting concern of possible knee ligament damage.
