The Denver Nuggets are facing major questions after a disappointing playoff exit.
Their first round elimination came against a Minnesota Timberwolves side missing key players during the series, raising serious concerns about the team’s trajectory.
That defeat has intensified scrutiny around the roster and sparked widespread discussion about a potential overhaul.
Amid that uncertainty, clarity has begun to emerge regarding who remains central to the franchise. NBA insider Shams Charania has now identified the only two figures in Denver whose futures appear secure heading into the offseason.

According to Charania, the Nuggets are set for significant change, with just two individuals guaranteed to remain: head coach David Adelman and star center Nikola Jokic.
“David Adelman, their head coach, he is going to be back. His job is safe,” Charania said on ESPN last Sunday, dropping a confirmation that provides stability on the sidelines despite growing pressure elsewhere.
He then added: “The second order of business for the Nuggets this offseason is securing a long-term commitment from Nikola Jokic. He’s eligible for a contract extension: four years and $290 million plus. The expectation on both sides is that Nikola Jokic will be signing that when he’s eligible in July.
