Jokic Is Shooting 17% From Three Over His Last 5 Games
A stretch this far below his season number is either a blip or the start of a real shift, and the next several games will show which.
Nikola Jokić has made 5 of 29 three-point attempts over his last five games, a rate of 17.2%, through the game on April 30, 2026. For the 2025-26 season, he is shooting 38% from three. The gap between those two numbers is large enough to notice.
A stretch this cold does not erase a full season of shooting, but it is worth tracking. Jokić has kept firing at a normal rate, close to six attempts a game over the five-game span, so this is not a case of him avoiding the shot. He is taking the same looks and missing more of them.
What happens next will say whether this is a short slump or something that sticks. If Jokić's shot selection and volume stay the same and the makes start falling again, the last five games will read as a cold patch inside a 38% season, nothing more. If the misses continue at this rate over the next stretch of games, the season number itself will start to move down toward it.
For now, the two figures sit far apart: 17% over the last five games against 38% for the season. Twenty-nine attempts is not a large sample, so a handful of makes in the next few games could close most of the gap. The Nuggets and their fans will be watching Jokić's next shooting nights to see which number is the real one.
