nuggets injuries jokic valanciunas.

The injury-plagued Denver Nuggets don’t have a true healthy center on their roster after losing three-time MVP Nikola Jokic and backup Jonas Valanciunas earlier this week. Aaron Gordon, Cam Johnson and Christian Braun were already sidelined with injuries, leaving point guard Jamal Murray as their last starter standing against the Cleveland Cavaliers. Jokic went down with a left knee hyperextension at Miami on Monday, just four days after his historic 56-point, 16-rebound, 15-assist performance against Minnesota. He will be re-evaluated in four weeks. The 7-foot Serbian is averaging 29.6 points and leads the NBA with 12.2 rebounds and 11.0 assists per game.
