On Monday, Nikola Jokic was able to add the first piece of hardware to his trophy case of which figures to be many before the 2025-26 NBA season is in the books. He was named Western Conference Player of the Week after leading the Nuggets to a 4-0 record while averaging 31.3 points, 11.3 rebounds, and 13.3 assists.
This is small potatoes for the Joker, who has taken home much more prestigious honors with regularity over the course of his illustrious career. But still, it’s nice to see him getting off to such a hot start and being rewarded for it.
