The Denver Nuggets have announced that Nikola Jokic suffered a left hip flexor strain during Thursday night’s contest with the Phoenix Suns and will be listed day to day. Give the look of pain on Nikola’s face when the injury happened, and that he was wheeled into the locker room, this probably could not be better news.
According to the Summit Medical Group, a hip flexor strain is the stretching or tearing of a muscle in the hip. Hip flexor muscles are used when one flexes or lifts the knee or bends at the waist.
