Nikola Jokić Enters 2026-27 Healthy, Coming Off Another MVP-Caliber Season
newsroom · 2 h agoNikola Jokić heads into the 2026-27 season with the Denver Nuggets off a dominant 2025-26 campaign and no issues on the injury report. The 31-year-old center is back at his usual spot in the middle of Denver's offense. The opener is still ahead, so all current numbers reflect last season's production.
Who Is Nikola Jokić
Nikola Jokić is Denver's starting center, wearing No. 15. He stands 6-11 and weighs 284 pounds, and he is entering his 11th NBA season at age 31. Jokić came up through Mega Basket before joining the Nuggets, and he has spent his entire career as the centerpiece of Denver's roster. Heading into 2026-27, he remains the focal point of the team's offense and the player around whom the rotation is built. There is no new game action yet this season, so his profile going into training camp is defined by his track record and his production from a season ago.
Last Season By The Numbers
In 2025-26, Jokić played 65 games and averaged 34.8 minutes a night. He put up 27.7 points, 12.9 rebounds and 10.7 assists per game, numbers that put him near a triple-double average across the full season. He also chipped in 1.4 steals and 0.8 blocks, while turning the ball over 3.7 times per game. Those are last season's totals with the Nuggets, and they set the baseline for what Denver expects from him again once the 2026-27 season tips off.
Efficiency And Workload
Jokić's shooting last season was elite across the board: 56.9 percent from the field, 38.0 percent from three-point range and 83.1 percent at the free-throw line. His true shooting percentage sat at 67.0, an elite mark for a player who also carried a 28.9 usage rate, meaning he was a featured option in the offense and still scored at a high clip. His plus-minus was 8.5, underlining how much the Nuggets outperformed opponents with him on the floor in 2025-26.
Injury Report
Jokić is not on the injury report right now. There is no injury history on file for him heading into the 2026-27 season, and no recent game log yet since the new campaign has not started. For Denver, that means the plan going into camp is to have its starting center available and ready without any known health concerns hanging over the opener.
What's Next For Denver
With the 2026-27 season set to begin, Denver's approach centers on getting Jokić back on the floor in his usual role after a 2025-26 season that saw him average a near triple-double at elite efficiency. There are no rumors or roster moves tied to him in the current brief, and no results yet this season since Denver has not opened its schedule. The opener is coming, and until then, last season's numbers are the clearest picture of where Jokić and the Nuggets stand.
