Nikola Jokic passes on extension, Jonas Valanciunas visits Greece and Summer League


Listen Later

In the latest edition of the Nuggets Ink podcast, beat writer Bennett Durando and sports editor Matt Schubert reconvene following DaRon Holmes II's glorious return to NBA Summer League. Among the topics discussed:
+ Nikola Jokic caused a stir in NBA circles by ... doing nothing?! Denver's MVP center became extension-eligible last week but declined to sign on the dotted line, according to league sources. Here's why Nuggets fans need not freak out — yet.
+ Jonas Valanciunas caused a stir in NBA circles by ... visiting Greece?! The recently acquired backup to Jokic was offered a three-year contract by EuroLeague power Panathinaikos, and Valanciunas signaled mutual interest by visiting Greece. Yet the Nuggets hold all the cards. What happens next?
+ Nuggets big man DaRon Holmes II returned to NBA Summer League a year after rupturing an Achilles tendon at the very same venue. How did the second-year player look? And how might he slot into what's becoming a deep Nuggets rotation?
+ With the Cam Johnson-MPJ trade now complete, the fellas ponder if the Nuggets might now have a better starting five than when the franchise won the NBA title in 2023.
What's Denver's best public park? You better believe the fellas have some opinions.
Producer: AAron Ontiveroz
