The Nuggets fear combo guard P.J. Dozier suffered a torn left ACL on Tuesday night, two league sources told The Denver Post.
Dozier will undergo more testing later Wednesday, a source said.
Dozier, 25, is universally liked throughout the Nuggets’ organization and was a staple of coach Michael Malone’s bench rotation. The timing of the injury is even more devastating as he’ll be extension eligible this spring.
ESPN first reported the nature of Dozier’s injury.
As the Nuggets filtered out of Moda Center in Portland late Tuesday night, they didn’t have any official word on Dozier’s status, but the emotional tones suggested something serious.
