Just when the Nuggets were inspired, winning a lot of games in recent days, they received this bad news, which affects all their aspirations for the remainder of the season. Jamal is the second-best player on the roster behind Nikola Jokic and his absence is extremely painful for the squad.
In a night that saw Stephen Curry becoming the Warriors’ all-time scoring leader, the Nuggets saw one of their stars going down with one of the worst injuries in basketball.
