🔗 Share this article Three-time Most Valuable Player Nikola Jokic suffers a 'devastating' leg setback. Jokic earned the NBA's MVP title in three of the past four years. Three-time NBA MVP Jokic suffered a "devastating" knee injury when the Denver Nuggets fell 147-123 to the Heat. Jokic sustained the injury towards the end of the second quarter following an inadvertent collision with team-mate Jones. His teammate landed on the footwear of Jokic, who instantly went down to the floor holding his knee. The veteran player, who leads the league season in boards and dimes, had a score of 21 points and eight dimes in the matchup before suffering the problem. He will undergo an MRI on Tuesday to determine the seriousness of the issue. "Immediately, he realized there was a problem," stated Denver head coach Adelman. "Injuries are part of the game. Any player who is injured, that's difficult, particularly somebody as important as him. We will know more tomorrow." "We'll move on as a team. Of course, right now, I am focused primarily about him personally and the letdown of facing a situation of that nature."
