Nikola Jokic’s response to Caitlin Clark’s compliment? A grin and a brief remark.
Caitlin Clark expressed admiration for Nikola Jokic on Sunday night, although the NBA player provided a lighthearted rationale for her remarks.
Clark joined NBC’s “Sunday Night Basketball” pregame show prior to the Denver Nuggets’ game against the Golden State Warriors to share her insights on the matchup. While talking about Jokic, Clark was generous in her accolades for the prominent Serbian center.
“Honestly, he’s probably my favorite player to watch,” Clark stated. “And I think he’s the best player in the world.”
When asked about Clark’s remarks following the game, Jokic gave a straightforward response.
“We have the same agent,” Jokic remarked with a grin. “That’s why she said it.”
Nonetheless, Jokic’s display during the game supported Clark’s assessment. He recorded 25 points, along with 15 rebounds and eight assists, as the Nuggets triumphed over the Warriors 116-93.
