Nuggets superstar Nikola Jokic doesn’t generally enjoy his media obligations, but he’s almost always friendly, funny and affable.
It’s not uncommon for Jokic to laugh at himself or slip a dry joke into his typically mundane interviews.
But Friday was a different story. Jokic fielded seven questions in under a minute, shedding little light on his recent struggles and offering a simple “no comment” when asked specifically about the $25,000 fine he incurred for using a slur in a postgame press conference in Chicago on Oct. 31.
Two days earlier, Jokic walked out of the visiting locker room in Memphis after telling reporters that any interview would yield a “no comment” following the Nuggets’ 89-87 loss to the Grizzlies.
