Poslednja utakmica u 2025. godini donela je Nikoli povredu kolena i nepoznatu dužinu pauze do nastavka njegovog ovosezonskog showтајма, koji bi vaљalo da rezultira u drugoj NBA tituli. U nastavku je ESPN zapis o Nikolinoj povredi.

Denver had won the last 11 regular-season matchups between the clubs and hadn’t lost a game in Miami since 2018.

But everything changed after halftime, with Jokic remaining in the locker room areas for evaluation.

Jokic still led the Nuggets in scoring with 21 points,

Jokic was alone under the basket and appeared to step forward to help Denver’s Spencer Jones defend a drive by Miami’s Jaime Jaquez Jr. as time was about to expire in the second quarter. While backtracking, Jones stepped on Jokic’s left foot and it seemed the center’s knee buckled.

Jokic collapsed to the court, grabbing at the knee and writhing in pain.
