Michael Porter Jr. says Nikola Jokić’s only goodbye after the Nuggets traded him was a group chat message telling him to wear a condom
Johnny: “You go and obviously build crazy relationships with Jamal and Jokić and all these guys on the team. How was it when you get that news and you reach out to them, or they reach out to you, and you’re finally almost saying your goodbyes after so many good memories on such an amazing run together?”
MPJ: “Yeah, it was tough saying goodbye. They just all kind of texted in the group chat. The only thing [Jokić] said was, ‘Wrap it up out there.’ He said, ‘Make sure you wear a condom out there.’ That was his message. That was his goodbye to me.”
