Jokic still wants to be 'Nuggets forever,' but an early playoff exit leaves them searching for more

MINNEAPOLIS (AP) — Three years after Nikola Jokic led the Denver Nuggets to the NBA championship, the peak looked awfully distant for the team from the Mile High City and the three-time MVP award winner.

For the first time in four years, the Nuggets failed to make it to May.
