Denver Nuggets center Nikola Jokic took coaching matters into his own hands on Wednesday night when he was seen drawing up plays for his team during a huddle on the sidelines.
Whether or not Jokic had done this before, it was a notable moment considering the Nuggets on Tuesday shockingly fired their longtime head coach Michael Malone—and general manager Calvin Booth—with just three games left in their season. And though the front office did appoint an interim head coach (Nuggets staffer David Adelman), it's clear Jokic, one of the league's best players, could maybe carry that torch himself.
