Nikola Jokic elbowed Collin Sexton hard after being scored on

Nikola Jokic is the reigning two time MVP. Prior to Jokic, the Denver Nuggets never had an MVP during their time in the NBA. Jokic has taken the Nuggets as far as any of their other franchise players. In 2020, “Joker” led the Nuggets to the Western Conference Finals. During each of the Nuggets’ other Western Conference Finals appearances, they lost to the Los Angeles Lakers.

Nikola Jokic rose to MVP contention, originally, during the bubble. Here, the Nuggets finished the season strongly, and upset the Los Angeles Clippers, in the second round. For the second time in franchise history, the Clippers blew a 3-1 lead, in the Western Conference Finals. Since 2020, though, the Nuggets have had their own issues. In 2022, they lost a quick five game series to the Golden State Warriors, in the first round, courtesy of Stephen Curry.

Nikola Jokic and the Denver Nuggets were heavily favored to beat the Utah Jazz, last night. During the offseason, the Jazz traded Rudy Gobert and Donovan Mitchell. Those were the Jazz’s franchise players. With them gone, Utah now looks to rebuild. Last night, it didn’t look like that was the case. At home, the Utah Jazz put on a show. Collin Sexton played like he wanted to take the MVP from Jokic. Once Sexton crossed Jokic up, he went after him. On the other end of the floor, Jokic elbowed Sexton to the ground.
