Nikola Jokić's former head coach apparently believes Shai Gilgeous-Alexander is the 2024-25 NBA MVP. "Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, he showed why he's MVP," Michael Malone said Tuesday during an appearance on ESPN's postgame coverage when discussing the Oklahoma City Thunder's 114-88 victory over the Minnesota Timberwolves in Game 1 of the Western Conference Finals.

For the first time in nearly a decade, the OKC Thunder is headed to the Western Conference finals. To get there, it took surviving the Denver Nuggets.

The Dallas Mavericks hold the biggest Game 7 blowout in league history with their 116–76 win over the Houston Rockets in 2005—Yao Ming led all scorers with 33 points on the night, but he and Tracy McGrady were the only Rocket to reach double digits. Jason Terry led the scoring for the Mavs with 31 points.

Alexander's first NBA MVP trophy gave him an overflow of energy when he returned to the court, but he tamed the electricity to lead the Oklahoma City Thunder to a 2-0 lead in the Western Conference finals.

The Denver Nuggets and Oklahoma City Thunder couldn’t wake up their offense with an early tip for Game 4 on Sunday.

Josh Kroenke took the interim tag off David Adelman on Thursday, rewarding the 44-year-old hoops lifer for righting the discombobulated Nuggets on short notice and leading them to a Game 7 against the top-seeded Thunder in the second round of the playoffs.

The Denver Nuggets add much-needed depth in this 3-team mock trade, involving the Utah Jazz and Atlanta Hawks.

As the Nuggets begin their 2025 offseason, one of the first orders of business is to hire a new general manager to replace Calvin Booth and oversee basketball operations. The team had not yet moved forward with a search as of the end of the season, according to a team source. So, where does the franchise start?
