What's happening with Denver Nuggets
teams.ie Editorial TeamThe Denver Nuggets' season has unravelled in spectacular fashion as the Minnesota Timberwolves eliminated the defending champions 4-2 in a first-round playoff series, with an enraged Nikola Jokić visibly boiling over after Jalen McDaniels's mocking layup sealed Denver's fate in Game 6. The two-time MVP's frustration was palpable—captured in his furious reaction to McDaniels's late-game theatrics—as the Nuggets crashed out despite Jokić's continued dominance throughout the series, including crucial triple-doubles that kept Denver's playoff hopes flickering. The result marks a stunning collapse for the defending champs, who entered the postseason as contenders but found themselves dismantled by a hungry Timberwolves side that advanced to face the San Antonio Spurs in the Western Conference semi-finals.
