Nikola Jokic Makes Clear Contract Decision With Denver Nuggets During Offseason originally appeared on Athlon Sports.

Which, to be clear, by delaying signing his new contract, Jokić isn't trying to place more pressure on the Nuggets. With a decade in the NBA under his belt, that's just never been the kind of player he is. That's not how he operates. He's simply getting his bank accounts in order. Nothing more.

Denver Nuggets superstar Nikola Jokic, eligible as of Tuesday for a contract extension, will wait until next summer to negotiate a new deal, the Denver Post and ESPN reported.
