🔗 Share this article Triple Most Valuable Player Nikola Jokic endures a 'devastating' knee injury. Jokic won the NBA's MVP title in three of the past four years. Thrice-crowned National Basketball Association MVP Nikola Jokic endured a "gut-wrenching" knee injury when the Nuggets fell 147-123 to the Heat. The star player sustained the injury late in the first half during an inadvertent contact with teammate Jones. Jones landed on the footwear of Jokic, and he immediately went down to the court grabbing his leg. The star, that tops the league season in rebounds and assists, recorded a score of 21 points and eight dimes in the contest prior to suffering the setback. Jokic is scheduled for an scan on Tuesday to evaluate the severity of the issue. "Immediately, Jokic knew he was hurt," commented Nuggets head coach Adelman. "This is part of the NBA. Anyone who is injured, that's tough to see, especially somebody as special as him. We will know more on Tuesday." "We'll move on together. Of course, currently, I am more concerned about Jokic as a person and the letdown of experiencing an event of that nature."
