PHILADELPHIA – Nikola Jokic was as excited about his fifth consecutive All-Star bid as most people are about going to the grocery store.

“I was (at) the racetrack, so I didn’t even pay attention, to be honest,” Jokic said following practice Friday. Amid Denver’s three-game road trip, the Nuggets had a rare off-day where they practiced in a remote gym at Temple University.

“It was good,” he said. “It was nice.”

That was Jokic’s attempt to downplay the accomplishment, which will see him start his third consecutive All-Star Game at next month’s exhibition in Salt Lake City.
