Three-time NBA MVP Nikola Jokic suffered a serious knee injury as the Denver Nuggets fell 147-123 to the Miami Heat.

The injury occurred late in the first half when Jokic accidentally collided with teammate Spencer Jones, who stepped on his foot, sending Jokic to the floor in visible pain.

Before the incident, Jokic had already racked up 21 points and eight assists, continuing his league-leading pace in rebounds and assists this season.

The 30-year-old underwent a scan and will be re-evaluated in four weeks, leaving fans and the team anxiously awaiting news on his recovery.
