Testing reveals no structural damage in Denver Nuggets' Nikola Jokic's right knee, source says

After medical testing Wednesday, there was no structural damage found Denver Nuggets center and reigning NBA MVP Nikola Jokic's knee, a source confirmed to ESPN.

Jokic suffered a right knee contusion late in the second quarter Tuesday night against the Jazz, and was held out of the remainder of the 122-110 loss at Utah.

Wednesday morning, Jokic's knee was feeling sore, as first reported by the Denver Post, but the star appears to have avoided a serious injury.

Jazz center Rudy Gobert was attempting to drive on Jokic along the baseline when he banged knees with him Tuesday.
