Nikola Jokić says he is choosing to delay signing a new contract extension with the Denver Nuggets, indicating he plans to put pen to paper next summer rather than during the current offseason. Multiple reports describe his decision as a planned timing choice instead of a sign of an immediate departure. Jokić reiterates his intent to remain in Denver for the long term, framing the delay as something he controls rather than a shift in loyalty. While the delay keeps the Nuggets without a long-term agreement in the near term, both outlets note that the situation can increase uncertainty for fans, who have grown accustomed to a clear long-term commitment from their franchise center. The reports align that Jokić still expects to sign an extension with the Nuggets, but the parties’ next step is pushed to the next offseason.
