Defeat Isn't the Only Bad News for Jokić and Nuggets: Key Denver Player Suffers Injury

Denver suffered a 96-84 defeat against Oklahoma City in their season opener.

To make matters worse for David Adelman's squad, Cameron Johnson went down with an injury.

He logged just 11 minutes on the floor before being forced to leave the game.

The Nuggets soon announced that he suffered a right ankle injury. Further details are yet to be disclosed, and it remains uncertain how much time he will miss.

Things were not helped by Nikola Jokić falling short of his usual stellar standard.

The Serbian center posted just 13 points in 35 minutes of action, shooting a rough 5-of-19 from the field.

He added seven rebounds and five assists to his tally, along with two turnovers.

Denver will look to bounce back in their next matchup when they take on the New Orleans Pelicans.
