Jokic Aims for 82 Games This Season | Denver Nuggets News

Nikola Jokic is setting his sights on playing all 82 games this season—a bold goal fueled by personal ambition, even if it’s a long shot. After missing 17 games last year, the Nuggets’ MVP contender admits he thrives on consistency and feels nervous when sidelined. While he’s played 80 games twice in his career, including during the shortened 2021 season that crowned him MVP, the team’s medical staff and coaches will likely prioritize his health over his wish to suit up every night. With the Nuggets’ playoff fate resting on Jokic’s shoulders, keeping him fresh and injury-free is paramount—his dream of an 82-game slate may clash with the team’s ultimate mission: a deep postseason run.
