Denver Nuggets dodge worst-case scenario after Nikola Jokić knee injury

• Jokić to be re-evaluated in four weeks by Denver

• Injury not believed to require surgery

• Nuggets face key stretch without their MVP center

Nikola Jokić is only going to miss a few weeks, which is surely cause for the Denver Nuggets to take a giant sigh of relief.

The Nuggets’ superstar center has been diagnosed with a hyperextended left knee, the team said Tuesday, adding that the three-time MVP will be re-evaluated in four weeks.
