Nikola Jokic went down with an apparent leg injury before halftime against Miami.
Yikes, never good to see that.
Best case scenario it's a knee hyperextension/bone bruise which would sideline him for a few weeks. Worst case it's an ACL tear and his season is over.
This season has had too many injuries.
To me that looks like a hyperextended knee, not an ACL (and I really hope it's not). If so, he'll still miss a good chunk of time, but the key thing is to determine if it's a sprain or any actual tears. If sprain, it's a 3-4 week timeline. If any tear, definitely more than a month, maybe even more than 2 months if it's a "severe tear". Hopefully it's not anything requiring major surgery or another possibility like ACL or meniscus that requires a surgery
He did get stepped on pretty hard during the play and then went down holding his knee, so it's encouraging that it wasn't a non-contact injury that just happened.
