The Denver Nuggets owner and president, Josh Kroenke, made the trip to Riga, Latvia, to watch Nikola Jokic's first game in EuroBasket 2025 between Serbia and Estonia.

Some of the Denver Nuggets executives already paid a visit to Nikola Jokic in Riga, but the NBA franchise delegation got even bigger.

The Nuggets owner and president, Josh Kroenke, was seen sitting courtside during Jokic's first game in EuroBasket 2025 between Serbia and Estonia.

On Tuesday, it was reported that Ben Tenzer, the Nuggets' vice president of basketball operations, and John Wallace, the team's vice president of player development, were in Serbia's practice ahead of tonight's game.

Another Nuggets player, Jonas Valanciunas, is also competing in the tournament with Lithuania. However, he is currently in Tampere, Finland, for Group B games but could join Jokic in Riga for the knockout stage.

Kroenke took over daily Nuggets operations in 2010, which includes making key decisions such as trades and contract extensions, among other responsibilities.

Although Jokic isn't planning to sign an extension with the Nuggets this offseason, he's expected to do so in the summer of 2026.

Kroenke was also in London during the weekend to greet the latest Arsenal signing Ebereche Eze.
