Nikola Jokic expressed his desire to finish his career with the Denver Nuggets despite their recent first-round playoff exit to the Minnesota Timberwolves. He acknowledged the team’s shortcomings, stating, “I think we are far away,” and accepted significant blame for his performance, shooting only 39% in the series. Injuries to key players further complicated matters, while Jokic publicly supported head coach David Adelman, emphasizing that the blame lies with the players, not the coach. Jokic has two years left on his contract and is eligible for a substantial extension this summer.
