🔗 Share this article Triple MVP Jokic endures a 'devastating' leg setback. The Denver Nuggets star secured the league's Most Valuable Player award in three of the past four years. Three-time NBA Most Valuable Player Jokic suffered a "heartbreaking" injury to his knee while the Nuggets fell by a score of 147-123 to the Miami Heat. The star player was hurt in the latter stages of the opening half following an inadvertent contact with teammate Jones. The other player landed on the footwear of the MVP, who promptly collapsed to the floor clutching his leg. The veteran player, who leads the NBA this season in rebounds and assists, had 21 points and eight dimes in the game before sustaining the setback. Jokic will have an MRI scan on Tuesday to assess the extent of the problem. "Immediately, Jokic understood there was a problem," stated Nuggets head coach Adelman. "Injuries are part of the game. Whoever that gets hurt, it's difficult, particularly somebody as special as Jokic. More information will come on Tuesday." "The team will adjust as a team. Obviously, right now, I am more worried primarily about Jokic as a person and the letdown of going through a situation of that nature."
