Nikola Jokic sent ruthless message to teammate after trade

“Good night and good luck” was apparently a little bit too dry for Nikola Jokic.

The Denver Nuggets made a big trade earlier this summer, sending Michael Porter Jr. to the Brooklyn Nets as part of a package that netted them fellow forward Cameron Johnson. The move ended Porter’s tenure in Denver after seven years (including as a starter on the 2023 NBA championship team).

In an appearance this week on the “Glory Daze” podcast with Johnny Manziel, Porter spoke about the trade. He revealed that his Nuggets teammates sent him goodbye messages in the team group chat … including Jokic.

“It was tough saying goodbye to my teammates, especially Jamal [Murray] and Aaron [Gordon], the guys who have been there for a long time,” said Porter. “They just all kind of texted in the group chat. The only thing Nikola said was, ‘Wrap it up out there in New York City.’ That’s all he said. He said, ‘Make sure you wear condom out there.’ That was his message. That was his goodbye to me.”
