Josh Kroenke, son of Stan Kroenke, who oversees the Denver Nuggets, recently gathered reporters in Colorado to introduce the team's new sports management. However, attention was shifted from that topic to the question that is bothering everyone in Denver now; whether Nikola Jokić will sign a new contract or not.
"We will definitely offer a new contract," said a representative of the company Kroenke Sports & Entertainment, which, among others, owns Arsenal, LA Rams, Colorado Avalanche, Rapids and Mamote.
However, he immediately added: "I'm not sure if he will accept."
This immediately raised suspicions among many, who wondered what was really going on behind the scenes.
With this, Kroenke Jr. joined those who are not completely sure that today's best basketball player will continue his cooperation with the Nuggets.
Rumor has it that the Kroenke family, knowing the three-time MVP is losing patience, has decided to fire coach Michael Malone and general manager Calvin Booth just three games before the end of the 2024/25 regular season. It is assumed that this was a clear sign for Jokić; the problem is not with him, but with the organization, and that Denver is ready to change that.
Josh Kroenke's answer
Josh Kroenke's answer to the question about the continuation of cooperation can be considered as a confirmation of that story.
It is difficult to give the right answer as to what the future really holds for this team, but also for Nikola Jokic, who is certainly the main weapon of his team. Whether the Serbian basketball player is ready for a new challenge or whether he will defend the colors of Denver in the next season, we will get an answer soon.
His qualities will surely emerge when it is needed the most, but do the Nuggets have the salary power to really save him, i.e. does Nikola want to remain part of this team or does he want to become part of an ambitious project.
Kroenke Jr. is aware of the importance of players like Nikola Jokic, but the question is what the future holds.
