Three-time most valuable player Nikola Jokic will miss the next month of action for the NBA's Denver Nuggets after suffering a left knee injury

Jokic limped off during the Nuggets' loss to the Miami Heat yesterday.

The Nuggets are breathing somewhat of a sigh of relief, with the Serbian cleared of serious injury.

He's been diagnosed with a hyperextended left knee and the team say he will be re-evaluated in four weeks.
