The reigning Kia MVP was injured after knocking knees with Jazz center Rudy Gobert late in the first half of Denver’s 122-110 loss to Utah on Tuesday.
Meanwhile, the Mavs will be without star center Kristaps Porzingis for a second consecutive game. The 26-year-old traveled with the team to Denver but will not play due to a lower back injury.
