Nikola Jokić considering contract extension delay with Nuggets

Nikola Jokić is weighing the option to bypass a contract extension with the Denver Nuggets this offseason. Eligible for a four-year extension worth approximately $280 million, Jokić may instead opt to delay signing until next summer, citing no immediate need for urgency. His player option for the 2027-28 season puts him on the brink of free agency as the 2026 offseason arrives. Despite positive sentiments towards Denver, Jokić's deferred extension raises concerns about his long-term future with the team.
