Miami managed to record a very convincing victory over the Nuggets, which few expected, but everything went downhill for the team from Denver when Jokic got injured.
Until the injury of the Serbian basketball player, Denver was very much on par with the Miami team, but when he left the floor, the home team easily dealt with the guests.
In the end, Miami registered a very convincing victory with a difference of 24 points, and the final score on the scoreboard was 147:123.

However, it is clear that the main topic of the evening in the NBA league is the injury of the best basketball player in the world, Nikola Jokić.
Jokić suffered an injury in a bizarre way because he was hurt by teammate Spencer Jones who stepped on Jokić’s leg, and after an unpleasant jolt, he injured his knee.
The Serbian basketball player immediately remained lying on the floor where he was helped, and with the help of the medical team he went to the locker room and unfortunately did not return to the floor in the second half.
The first information coming from America says that it is a knee injury and that the situation is not harmless at all, and that Jokić could take a longer break and fear the worst, which is an injury to the knee ligaments.
Everything will be known in the coming days when Jokić will undergo detailed examinations, and Denver certainly hopes that it is nothing serious and that they will not be without their best player for a long time.
By the way, all that happened in the last seconds of the first half with the score 63:63, and how much Jokić means to Denver was seen in the second part of the match when they suffered a heavy defeat.
It should be noted that Jokić managed to score as many as 21 points before leaving the floor and added eight more assists and five rebounds in almost 20 minutes he spent in the game.
In the end, Powell from the Miami team was the most effective with 25 points, and Nikola Jović also stood out, who played an excellent match for Miami with 22 points, five assists and four rebounds.
