By News Channel NebraskaDENVER (AP) — Nikola Jokic and the Denver Nuggets spent the season playing without injured standouts Jamal Murray and Michael Porter Jr. They still turned in a 48-win season and earned the No. 6 seed in the West.
They were eliminated by the Golden State Warriors in five games and now they’re looking forward to next season when they get back together.
Jokic is a strong contender for a second straight MVP title after becoming the first NBA player to eclipse 2,000 points, 1,000 rebounds and 500 assists in a regular season.
