DeMar DeRozan opened up at Nuggets Media Day about taking pressure off Nikola Jokic and Jamal Murray, signaling a major transition for Denver's offense.

At Denver Nuggets media day on September 28, 2026, newly acquired veteran guard DeMar DeRozan discussed his anticipated role with the team. Entering his 18th season, DeRozan stated his willingness to initiate offense and help ease the burden on franchise leaders Nikola Jokic and Jamal Murray.
DeRozan noted that playing alongside high-IQ teammates who draw defensive attention should lead to easier scoring opportunities for him after a career often spent bearing heavy offensive responsibilities. He expressed a strong commitment to taking on a complementary role to support Denver's success.
