Nuggets' Title Window Teeters After Brutal Playoff Exit

TL;DR Summary
Denver’s season ended with a 110-98 loss to a shorthanded Minnesota squad, prompting the question whether their championship window is still ajar or close to shutting. Jokic underdelivered and Murray went cold, while injuries to Aaron Gordon and Peyton Watson left Denver’s depth exposed. With Jokic’s upcoming max extension, a heavy payroll, and few tradable assets, this summer will test the team’s ability to reshuffle on a constrained budget. A healthier, deeper roster could keep the window open, but the path to sustained contention looks tighter than it did a few weeks ago.
