"No Regrets!" Nikola Jokic Speaks Out After Altercation and Ejection

The Denver Nuggets are struggling against the Minnesota Timberwolves in the first round of the NBA playoffs, and Nikola Jokic is finding it tough against Rudy Gobert. These losses are clearly affecting the mood of the world's best player.

In Game 4, the Wolves defeated the Nuggets, taking a 3-1 lead in the series. During the game, "the Joker" appeared to want a physical confrontation with Jaden McDaniels.

Jokic was furious when, with 1.3 seconds left, McDaniels scored a basket, extending his team's lead to +16, while everyone else on the court had stopped playing.

The Sombor native was not pleased. After the game, he briefly explained that he had no regrets about confronting the American to "explain" that such an action shows disrespect to an opponent.

When asked if Denver still truly believes they can beat Minnesota, Jokic simply replied:

- Yes.

He also answered a question about his performance against Minnesota, and he was candid:

- Average. They play great defense. Gobert is an excellent defender, and the others help him. I missed a lot of open shots, a lot of threes, but credit also goes to Minnesota's strong defensive play - Jokic noted.

The goal is clear:

- We need to bring the series back to Minnesota. That should be our focus.

Jokic also faces a potential suspension due to the ejection.

Game 5 of the series is scheduled for Monday night into Tuesday morning, with Denver as the host. Minnesota will have their first match point in that game.

Now, the only question is whether we will see Nikola on the court.
