Nikola Jokic is content to stay put.
After delaying contract extension talks with the Nuggets this summer and spurring inevitable speculation about his future, the three-time MVP told reporters on Monday that “my plan is to be (with the) Nuggets forever.”
Jokic, 30, has a minimum of two years remaining on his current contract, plus a player option for the 2027-28 season. The second-highest-salaried player in the NBA for the upcoming 2025-26 season, he became eligible in July for an extension that would add up to three years and an estimated $207 million to the current deal.
