Nikola Jokic, the Denver Nuggets' star center, will reportedly delay contract extension negotiations until the summer of 2026, according to sources at ESPN. This decision means Jokic will play out the next two seasons under his current contract before potentially seeking a new long-term deal with the Nuggets. The delay provides Jokic with flexibility while also allowing the Nuggets to assess their roster and cap situation before committing to a potentially massive extension.
