Nikola Jokić says he is choosing to wait before signing a new contract with the Denver Nuggets, indicating the extension would come next summer rather than this offseason. Multiple reports describe Jokić’s position as consistent with his long-stated preference to remain in Denver for the rest of his career. While he has not committed to signing immediately, he has signaled a willingness to extend on his own timeline. The coverage also frames the decision in terms of team planning and leverage: by postponing negotiations, Jokić retains decision-making power while Denver approaches the period leading up to the next offseason with more uncertainty than if a long-term deal were already in place. Across the outlets, the central point is that Jokić communicates a desire to stay with the Nuggets, but the parties are not yet finalizing an extension during the current window. The next step is expected to occur during the offseason when the contract extension discussions would resume, allowing both sides to address the remaining terms at that time.
