Denver Nuggets star Nikola Jokic acknowledged the team is 'far' from contention following their early playoff exit, which came at the hands of the Minnesota Timberwolves, who eliminated Denver to advance to Round 2. Despite the disappointing result, Jokic expressed his desire to remain with the franchise long-term, stating he wants to be 'a Nugget forever.' The loss marks a significant setback for a Nuggets team that won the NBA Championship in 2023.
