Nikola Jokic Plans Long-Term Stay With Denver Nuggets Despite Contract Delay
Nikola Jokic, the three-time NBA MVP and Denver Nuggets star, has confirmed his intention to spend his entire career with the Nuggets despite delaying contract extension talks until 2026 for financial reasons. Jokic declined a three-year, $200 million extension offered this offseason, aiming to sign a more lucrative deal next summer as the NBA salary cap increases. He emphasized that contract extensions are a natural reward in the sport and reiterated his loyalty by stating, "My plan is to be a Nugget forever." While rumors circulated about rival teams like the Lakers and Warriors potentially targeting him in 2027, Jokic shut down such speculation, assuring fans and the Nuggets organization of his commitment. His decision to wait is strategic, allowing him to potentially secure a four-year, $293 million extension in 2026. Jokic's consistent high-level performance and loyalty make him an indispensable figure for the Nuggets' championship aspirations.
