Nikola Jokic Drops Surprising Hint About His Future with the Nuggets—Is Forever Really the Plan?

This past summer, Nikola Jokic turned down an offer to sign a three-year, $212 million extension with the Denver Nuggets. There was a very logical reason for this — he can get an extra year and nearly $80 million more if he waits to sign an extension next summer.
Logic has never stopped random online speculation, and some wondered if it was a sign that he might want out in the summer of 2027, when he can become a free agent. No, he does not. Jokic ended that at Nuggets Media Day on Monday.
“Those contract extensions come as a reward as something that is natural to the sport,” said Jokic. “Especially in today’s NBA with how the salary cap is going. My plan is to be a Nugget forever.”
