Jokić also weighed in, emphasizing the importance of unity. “We’ve had some tough moments, but Coach Malone’s always been there for us,” Jokić said. “It’s normal for teams to face challenges, but our focus is on winning games and supporting each other.”
As the Nuggets prepare for the season, Malone’s emphasis on open communication and team unity remains a cornerstone of his coaching philosophy, reassuring fans and players alike of a strong and collaborative future.
