Nikola Jokic doesn’t want to take any games off in the last week of the NBA regular season as long as he’s healthy, the two-time MVP said Tuesday night after Denver’s 110-105 win over the San Antonio Spurs.
Jokic was asked if he would prefer to play all six remaining games as the Nuggets pursue the top seed in the Western Conference, or if he would prefer to prioritize his stamina and health before the playoffs begin. Jokic answered that if he’s feeling unfit to play at any point, he won’t ignore that. But he went on to point out the week off Denver will have between games after its regular-season finale April 14 at Memphis.
