A skinny dog is all fleas. Such a popular saying could well be used in the present to define the situation they live in Denver. At the beginning of the season they knew that there was the possibility of not having Jamal Murray all year, but what they could not imagine is that in that same position, Michael Porter Jr. would meet first and, a few days later, PJ Dozier.
As reported by Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN, the guard 25 could be out for the remainder of the season because of a torn ACL in his left knee. Such a diagnosis has yet to be confirmed by further evaluations, but the first images obtained of the Nuggets player’s joint indicate that he could suffer such a serious injury.
The ailment occurred during the last game of the Colorado franchise, which they played in Portland and lost 119-100. When attempting a layup on Cody Zeller, Dozier fell badly and was forced to leave the court, something he had to do with the help of his teammates. At that time it was impossible to know the extent of the problem in the left knee.
The injury comes at a really tough time for Denver, as they also do not currently have current NBA MVP Nikola Jokic, with a right wrist ailment, or rookie Bones Hyland, injured in his right ankle ; And of course there are not the aforementioned Murray and Porter Jr ..
The Colorado team will have to come out of their losing streak of results (five consecutive losses) without PJ Dozier, who was a fixture in Michael Malone’s rotation, playing 18.9 minutes a night and averaging 5.4 points and 3.5 rebounds.
