Jokic went down with 44 seconds left in the second quarter when he drove to the basket and stepped on Jerian Grant’s foot. Jokic hit two free throws before heading to the locker room with an obvious limp. He didn’t return in the second half.

Coach Michael Malone said after the game that Jokic would get treatment and his status for Saturday’s game is unknown

VETERAN SAVVY

When Jokic tried to walk to the locker room after getting hurt, Jefferson ran over and stopped him. The 16-year veteran told the 22-year-old center he needed to take his foul shots before leaving.

„It was chaotic. It was a timeout and he was saying he was done,“ Jefferson said. „I was like, `Dude, if don’t go and shoot the free throws, one, the other team gets to pick who shoots them and two, if you go back in the half and you start feeling a little better you can’t come back.“
