Good to see it wasn't too significant. From the impact itself, there wasn't a violent buckle, so it seemed like he should come out of it relatively ok. It probably still hurt like **** though.
He'll miss 15-16 games if he's out only 4 weeks and the Nuggets will struggle to win more than half of those. That'll knock them down to at least 5th or 6th place.

Jokic is strong. The hyperextension looks like it came from his own upward movement while another Nuggets player stepped on and anchored his foot. His body went up while his leg stayed planted, causing the knee to bend back. Just freak timing.
obviously, i want the rox to finish ahead of denver but i hate injuries (in all sports). i want the best players playing, unless we are talking teams from cali...
need to naturalize somma these players. having non muricans win mvp is so offensive to naismith, one of the greatest muricans and founding father.
Glad he will recover without surgery. He is the current best player in the world. That being said, I hope Denver sucks while he is gone and that the Rockets capitalize in the standings.
I mean, if he *had* to get hurt he could have done it before we played them 7 times in the first 2 months
