It didn’t take lengthy for the oddsmakers to foretell Jokic’s subsequent touchdown spot. They handed the Lakers the highest spot with +500 odds to accumulate the three-time MVP (by way of Bovada Official). Jokic’s agent, Raznatovic, left a comment on the situation on his Instagram after spotting his client’s ex-team, KK Mega Basket, in second behind the Lakers. Jokic played for the Serbian franchise before entering the NBA. Raznatovic wrote on Instagram: “It’s not hard for KK Mega Basket to accept second place if Lakers are in first 😂😂”

Consensus @itsbrianbarrett & I constructed on #AllNBA, in some order: Shai, Jokic, Giannis, Tatum, Mitchell, Edwards, Brunson, LeBron, Curry, Mobley, Cade, Jackson, Cities, Sengun…then Tyrese, Booker or Ja.Williams? And the place does Jaylen stand?

Unsure I’ve ever seen somebody take extra possession after a loss than Christian Braun does repeatedly. He’s blamed himself for Jokic’s late turnover and *all* of Denver’s defensive struggles. – 11:07 PM

Extra on this storyline
League sources said the firings happened so quickly Tuesday that Jokic wasn’t involved in them. It was an impulsive choice from possession, which was fed up with the infighting. -via Yahoo! Sports / April 9, 2025
However league sources said there had been significant frustration within the locker room at how the Nuggets were playing, particularly defensively. The Nuggets were just 20th in defensive rating. Jokic has been pissed off with the group’s defensive dedication and efficiency this season. -via New York Times / April 9, 2025
“Clearly, they received it, so some gamers—you know—he’s just rubbed them the wrong way because he’s such a hardnosed coach. Not quite as hard on Jokic and Murray, but still coaches them hard—just not quite as hard—and that also rubbed some guys the wrong way. That he’s not as hard on them.” “Now, I’m informed this: I’m informed that Jokic preferred Michael Malone. Like, he preferred him. In fact, he generally noticed Malone as slightly too laborious, bristled slightly bit at that—however he preferred him. And in order that’s the scenario I’m informed.” -via YouTube / April 9, 2025
