The success of the Denver Nuggets heavily relies on the phenomenal play of their star center, Nikola Jokić. Some of the NBA’s insiders are, however, worried that the reliance might cut short his prime.
Jokić is averaging a remarkable 39 minutes per game. The workload is so great that, after a certain period, he is sure to break down. His contribution to the team’s offense and defense means that his coach cannot afford to do anything else but play him through and through. It’s probable that injuries and fatigue will be the results.
While the Nuggets are certainly a legitimate competitor in the West, it would help to see the long-term future of the team not rely on fragile shoulders of a two-time MVP. The Nuggets will need to continue to build with a steady approach, besides playing through Jokić, who might get worn out from the burden.
