Following the sudden firing of coach Michael Malone and GM Calvin Booth, the Nuggets snapped a four-game losing streak with a 124-116 win over the Kings. Jokic recorded his 33rd triple-double of the season.
Interim coach David Adelman led Denver to a much-needed victory after ownership acted to jolt the team amid locker room frustrations and declining defensive effort. Adelman emphasized restoring trust and simplicity in communication. The win comes as Denver (48-32) pushes to avoid the play-in and recapture playoff form.

Coach Michael Malone says Nikola Jokic plans to return “at some point” during Denver’s upcoming five-game homestand as he recovers from a left ankle impingement.
Jokic has missed four straight games and is unlikely to play Monday vs. the Bulls, but he’s progressing after a pregame shooting session. Despite battling both ankle and elbow issues, Jokic is averaging a career-best 29.1 points and 10.3 assists per game, maintaining MVP-level form.
