Nikola Jokic Makes Clear Contract Decision With Denver Nuggets During Offseason originally appeared on Athlon Sports.

Denver Nuggets superstar Nikola Jokic, eligible as of Tuesday for a contract extension, will wait until next summer to negotiate a new deal, the Denver Post and ESPN reported.

The Nuggets have been eliminated in the second round of the playoffs in back-to-back years since winning their first NBA title 2023. After their Game 7 loss to the Thunder in May, Jokic was blunt in concluding to reporters that Denver wasn’t not good enough to win the championship.
