Denver Nuggets star Nikola Jokić has expressed his desire to stay with the team forever, despite a recent loss to the Minnesota Timberwolves. He expressed a belief that his team isn't close to winning a championship and suggested that if they were in Serbia, they would all get fired. Despite this, he has one year remaining on his contract and a player option for the 2027-28 season. The Wolves advanced to the second round and the Nuggets will exit the postseason without a series win for the first time since 2022.
