Denver Nuggets star Nikola Jokić suffered a hyperextended left knee during Monday's loss to the Miami Heat, ruling him out for at least four weeks. The injury, which occurred after accidental contact with a teammate, avoids a season-ending tear but jeopardizes his MVP candidacy due to the NBA's 65-game threshold. This development clears the path for Oklahoma City Thunder's Shai Gilgeous-Alexander to secure a second consecutive MVP award.
Aaron Judge's rib stress fracture has sidelined the three-time MVP and opened the 2026 American League award race to new contenders. Yordan Alvarez leads early favorites with elite power and average numbers. Other standouts include Bobby Witt Jr., Nick Kurtz and Ben Rice.
