Nikola Jokic's knee injury has sent shockwaves through the NBA, not only because of his absence on the court, but because it may quietly end his push for a fourth MVP award.
The Denver Nuggets confirmed that Jokic will miss several weeks after suffering a knee injury earlier this week. According to a discussion on Nikola Jokic knee injury implications from Yahoo Sports' Big Number podcast, the minimum recovery window is four weeks. That timeline already places pressure on Denver's season and Jokic's individual ambitions. Analysts Tom Haberstroh and Dan Devine explained how the injury reshapes both the MVP race and the Nuggets' playoff outlook in real time.
