Nikola Jokic and the Denver Nuggets secured the No. 2 seed in the Western Conference playoffs with a dominating victory against the Memphis Grizzlies, paving the way for a week of expectation.
As the reigning NBA champions await their playoff opponent, either the Los Angeles Lakers or the New Orleans Pelicans, who will be selected in the next Play-In Tournament, Jokic is excited to devote more time to his family.
Jokic expressed his pleasure in reuniting with his daughter, highlighting their recent pool opening and his desire to spend quality time with his family during the vacation.
“I’m excited to fly home. We inaugurated a pool yesterday, so I’m looking forward to spending a few days with my daughter in it,” the Serbian center told Harrison Wind.
With the regular season over, Jokic and the Nuggets will now focus on postseason preparation, hoping to make a long run in search of another championship.
