As the reigning NBA champions await their playoff opponent—either the Los Angeles Lakers or the New Orleans Pelicans—who will be determined in the upcoming Play-In Tournament, Jokic is eager to spend quality time with his family.

In a lighthearted moment, Jokic shared his enthusiasm for returning home, saying, “We opened the pool yesterday, so I’m kind of excited to spend a couple of days with my daughter in the pool. That’s exciting right now.” His joy in reuniting with his daughter and enjoying the new pool reflects his commitment to family amidst the pressures of professional basketball.

With the regular season wrapped up, Jokic and the Nuggets are now focused on postseason preparation, aiming for another championship run.

His dedication both on and off the court exemplifies the balance he seeks between his career and family life.
