Denver Nuggets star Nikola Jokic is expected to miss several games with a left ankle sprain, but an MRI on Friday revealed no further damage, league sources tell ESPN.

Jokic, one of the league’s most talented young post players, turned his ankle during a victory over Chicago on Thursday night, leaving the game in the second quarter. X-rays on the ankle were negative.

The Denver frontcourt also sustained an injury to forward Paul Millsap, who recently underwent wrist surgery and is expected to be lost for three months.

Jokic, 22, has averaged 15.5 points, 10.6 rebounds and 4.6 assists for the Nuggets this season.

The roles of Mason Plumlee and Kenneth Faried will increase with the absences in the frontcourt.
