The main reason Denver Nuggets player Nikola Jokic is excited about the pre-playoffs vacation is to spend time with his daughter.

With 57 victories and 25 defeats throughout the regular season, the Denver Nuggets and Nikola Jokic had another successful campaign. They concluded second in the fiercely competitive Western Conference.

The squad will take a well-earned rest as they will not be participating in the play-in round and will instead be waiting to play in the first round of the playoffs against either the Los Angeles Lakers or the New Orleans Pelicans.

“A lot of trusting each other. I think our defense, especially after the break, is good. We are running much better. Playing together more, it’s probably just [about] experience too,” Jokic said about the 57-25 record of the Nuggets.

The squad’s standout player, Nikola Jokic, discussed how the team persevered for a fantastic season and what he is most excited about during their short break in a post-game interview.

“It’s good. To be honest, I am excited. I need to hurry home,” the center said. “We opened a pool yesterday or two days ago, so I am kind of excited to spend a couple of days with my daughter on the pool. That, for me, is exciting right now,” he revealed.

Jokic’s plans for the break were higher on his priority list.

The Joker believes that the break will assist to revitalize the squad and rekindle their motivation for the most difficult portion of the NBA season, regardless of how he or his teammates pass the time.

“It’s going to help. Just to heal up, just to [get to] want to play again, just to get the joy back… The playoffs are coming, so the fun part is starting. The weather looks good,” he concluded.

Nikola Jokic averaged a nearly triple-double of 26.5 points, 12.3 rebounds, and 9 assists on 58.2% field goal shooting during a very prolific season for him. As of April 14, the most recent Kia Race to the MVP Ladder indicates that he is the clear favorite to win MVP this year.
