This white and gold Nike jacket is emblazoned with “2022-2023 NBA Champions Denver Nuggets” on the back and was worn at the Ring Ceremony by Nikola Jokic prior to the game on October 24, 2023, when the Denver Nuggets played the Los Angeles Lakers. 


Jokic recorded a triple-double, finishing with 29 points, 13 rebounds, 11 assists, 1 steal and 1 block. The Denver Nuggets beat the Los Angeles Lakers, 119-107.


Hailing from Serbia, Nikola Jokic has emerged as a transformative force in the NBA since being selected by the Denver Nuggets with the 41st overall pick in the 2014 NBA Draft. At the end of the season, Jokic finished 3rd in the 2016 NBA Rookie of the Year Award voting and earned NBA All-Rookie First Team honors. 


Born of a new era in Eastern European basketball, Jokic's game is characterized by an exceptional blend of skills and basketball intelligence, setting him apart as a leader of a generation making its mark on the NBA stage. 


At the time of cataloging, his career averages were 20.3 points, 10.6 rebounds, and 6.7 assists per game. Jokic showcases a versatility seldom seen in players of his size and position and is considered one of the best passing big men in NBA history. 


Jokic is a 2-time NBA MVP, 1-time NBA Champion, 5-time All Star and 3-time First Team All NBA selection. His career continues to be marked by excellence and a bright future with the Denver Nuggets.
