Nikola Jokić

Nikola Jokić

Nuggets Injury

Nikola Jokić is set to miss at least four weeks due to a hyperextended left knee, dealing a significant blow to fantasy managers relying on the star’s production. While he avoided a more severe injury, Denver will need to adjust, with Jonas Valančiūnas stepping into the starting center role. Jamal Murray is likely to see more of the offensive burden, while Tim Hardaway Jr. and Bruce Brown may also see increased roles during Jokić’s recovery.
