On a positive note for the team and Denver fans, tests have shown that the three-time NBA MVP’s knee ligaments remain intact. So, the worst-case scenario has been avoided.
It's worth noting that the Denver Nuggets will play their next game without Jokic on Thursday, January 1, 2026, against the Toronto Raptors. Tip-off is scheduled for 01:30 Central European Time.
Reminder: Williams and Alvarado got into a fight during the Suns vs Pelicans game.
