Denver Nuggets superstar Nikola Jokic may consider leaving the franchise if the team's postseason difficulties persist, according to an NBA insider report. The speculation follows Denver's first-round playoff exit against the Minnesota Timberwolves, where the Nuggets fell in Game 6 at Target Center on April 30, 2026.
Jokic, a three-time NBA Most Valuable Player, has been the cornerstone of Denver's championship aspirations since leading the franchise to its first title in 2023. The Serbian center's future with the organization has become a topic of discussion after consecutive early playoff eliminations.
The Nuggets' front office faces critical decisions this offseason regarding roster construction around their franchise player. Jokic's contract situation and the team's ability to build a legitimate contender will likely determine whether the 29-year-old remains in Denver long-term.
