It’s absolutely silly to dump on Spencer Jones. It was a freak play. Spencer has been a pleasant surprise.
An off-arm shove takes out the best player in the world. When is the league going to do something about this?
Jones was pushed into Jokic by Jaquez! This should stop!
Jokic will be back in 2 weeks hopefully he won't be 20lb heavier
Best case scenario and potential silver lining, all starters are back by February/March, get over the rust and peak for the post season.
Damn. Nobody wanted to see Joker injured.
Don't panic just yet. There are good signs that it might not be a serious injury. He was stationary, his knee wasn't hit, it didn't hyperextend too much, and it didn't bend to the side.
A sports doctor broke it down here.

Normally this injury takes 3-4 months to come back, but Joker will be back in 3-4 days💪🏾
This is the end for Nuggets.
This Is the moment where JM will show to how irrelevant he Is without the joker on the floor
SPENCER JONES MUST BE SUSPENDED & KICKED OUT OF THE TEAM, HE INTENTIONALLY INJURED JOKIC CLEARLY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Hope for a championship is dead. No 40-20, no top 3 seed.
All we can hope for is for them to be healthy come February and give their best effort rest of season.
That’s all. Another year of his prime wasted.
Spencer threw himself backwards like a mule.
I mean what a stupid move by Soencer with leg back like a donkey..
🙏
2 freak knee hyperextensions in a 14 day span, what a time to be alive 🫠
The silver lining is that crisp defense in the second half.
They were so good and fast on switches and incredible chasing the drives, and the rim job protection was sublime.
Totally on the verge of G league.

As I watch the scene of the injured Jokic being taken off the floor, the lyrics of the song by the old rock band from Yugoslavia run through my head: "Midnight has passed baby, the magic is disappeared; the horses have become mice, and the carriages are pumpkins…". It's a song for the fans of the Denver Nuggets tonight, and this scene of injury best reflects Nicole's career in the NBA… He started and ended his career in a team that simply did not deserve him, neither in terms of the quality of the organization, nor in terms of the effort put in to raise the peasant team to a higher level of professionalism, nor in terms of the ambitions of the club's owners… Kudos to the club's fans, kudos to the good people in Denver and Colorado… However, the fact that an insufficiently technically trained player has been playing in the team for almost 2 years alongside Nikola – not even enough to with inarticulate body movements, he ceases to pose a danger to himself and the players of the opposing team – it's sad… That couldn't happen in our country. Our players must be at least solidly trained in basketball fundamentals because Serbian players cannot be so physically gifted as to ignore the obvious technical and tactical lack of basic training that Spencer Jones has been demonstrating for 2 years, as well as with tremendous desire, effort and fighting spirit… Jokić's mistake is that he did not leave Denver for a more serious team 2 seasons ago, as soon as it became clear that the organizational limits of the Nuggets prevented him from becoming a top 5 player ever. He gave them a title, quite enough for an organization that was not even able to provide (until last season) even the bare minimum to make Denver's NBA games visible across the country. Most Americans outside of Denver, apart from the highlights, watched Nikola 2-3 times in their life until, maybe, the previous season… And that is one of the reasons why he is constantly belittled… I don't know, of course, how serious the injury is (I have a feeling it's bad, really bad), but it seems to me that this is the beginning of the end of an incredible story.

Jokić will get well after Serbian Orthodox Christmas with few pounds plus 🤷 and in February he will be ready to play. 🙏 March will be hot for Denver, hope they'll survive that period.
Jaimie Jaquez pushed Spencer into Jokic, of course it's not his fault. If anything blame Jaimie.
i’ll be upset if the Sorry and fraudulent ass Lakers jump pass the Nuggets in the standings, which is most likely to happen now. smh
45 yr old Spurs fan, Jokic is seriously one of the most amazing players I have ever witnessed. Hope it's not a serious one.
Your Favorite Lakers Fan here, I was watching live. Omg my heart was like noooooo wtf, Denver was down big and he came in the game and instant lead. I hope Spencer doesn't get too much hate, I'm sure he is feeling it. I hope it's not serious we will find out soon enough.
Jones did it on purpose to steal Jokic’s team.
The Nuggets without Joker are the Celtics without Tatum.
"No Chance" in the playoffs.
Do you say he caught a lob when his feet didn’t leave the ground?
I’ve never seen a grown man go into the fetal position because he hurt his leg… Someone needs to tell Jokic he looked soft doing that.
Now Jokic brothers are turn upside down Spencer lol 😂😂
I'm not sure why Nuggets fans are blaming Spencer. He was bumped into Jokic by Jamie
Jokic beeing out of shape had to catch up to him at some point 😂
like always in a bad thing there is a good thing , the bench must step up new ppl must fight and get strenghten ,probably will help in the playoffs
Jaimie Jaquez strikes again. Somebody needs to put together a mixtape of his and the Heats injuries to other teams. Every year they injure players!!!
This makes me want to cry. Jokiću brate
Degenerate OKC fans celebrating an injured players..says enough.
You guys are a great dynamic duo
Jokuc will play Wednesday! He's the man!!!
I think people are so quick to decide something that it may not be!
Quit being so doom and gloom. GOD is good!!! Pray for JOKICs Salvation and his knee to be okay!!!
I really don't see the Nuggs winning many games without him. Playoffs are in jeopardy.
Can you please stop calling him knee-cola? The name Nick exists in English. Nicholas cage, Saint Nick. Saint Nicholas. It’s Nick. Nickola. It’s really not that hard. Was Nick Van Exel called kneeck van exel?
I’m so sad and pissed. I blame Kronke for being cheap and not paying for legit NBA talent for the bench. bums like Jones, Naji, Strawther, Tyson and Pickett should NOT even be on this team!!
There's 15 games until they come back home on January the 27th…my optimistic take is 5-10, we play WSH twice, plus CHA and NOP, that should 4 wins and we can pull one of our butt, my realistic take is 3-12, because, it's Murray as no1 opt
4/5 starters out of
Looked kinda liked the same injury Sophie Cunningham had .. hers went a little more sideways than jokers hyperextension did
Id say an MCL
Spencer Jones must be removed from the league immediately. Terminating his contract is the only acceptable response to his careless injury of a premier star center.
The immortal words of 'Trick Daddy' come to mind… 'Shut up…'
