Nikola Jokic has started the new NBA season the way he ended the old one. At the beginning of the season, his Denver team defeated the Lakers, primarily thanks to the Serbian basketball player.
Contrary to public opinion, he never skipped the weight room in the offseason, he said.
“I’ve been in the weight room practically every day. I only skipped on Sundays. I was preparing my body for the season. Our bodies are our tools. If your body isn’t ready, something will happen, you’ll get injured,” said the Serbian basketball player.
“I didn’t skip a single day in the weight room. Maybe a little on the court, I skipped, a few days or a month, two months,” Nikola Jokic added with a smile.
Before the game, the Nuggets received their rings for winning the 2023 NBA championship.
“I think we had good energy. The whole ceremony gave us an energy boost,” Jokic said.
