The Drive | Hour 1 | 12.30.25

Hour 1 of The Drive kicks off with Zach and Phil cross talking with Dover and Richie. The guys discuss their reactions in real time to Nikola Jokic going down and grabbing at his knee during last night's Nuggets and Heat game. The guys compare it to their knee injuries in the past and how a torn ACL can feel. Zach and Phil dive into Jokic's injury further and how we have taken Jokic's health for granted throughout his career. How will the Nuggets re-learn how to play basketball without the three-time MVP? What will the Nuggets record be during the next month when Jokic is supposed to be sidelined? Will they be able to weather the storm and stay in the upper half of the western conference? We look back at many of the quarterbacks the Broncos have faced this season and debate if the lesser talent they've faced is reason for concern when it comes to the playoffs?
