The Denver Nuggets are expected to receive their 2023 NBA championship rings on Tuesday, October 24, when they open their new season against their Western Conference rivals, the Los Angeles Lakers.
Nikola Jokic, the 2023 NBA Finals MVP, will be one of the recipients and was recently asked where he would display his championship ring. In jest, the interviewer also asked "Joker" if he would tie the ring to one of his shoes on the first night of the 2023-24 NBA season.

"I like your idea my friend but it's kinda too big," the two-time NBA MVP stated.
Tuesday will be a special day for the Nuggets. They will receive their rings on Ring Night and see their NBA championship banner raised at the Ball Arena, NBA.com reported.
After these ceremonies, the Nuggets start their NBA title-retention bid against a souped-up Los Angeles Lakers quintet.
Michael Malone's secret stash
As far as Nuggets coach Michael Malone is concerned, he admits that it is something he may never wear.
Instead, it appears he plans to place it somewhere where his mother hid his late father, Brendan Malone's two rings while playing for the Detroit Pistons, Denver 7 reported.
"They always thought those rings were in a safety deposit box. And my mother put them in his underwear drawer," Malone said. "So that's probably where mine will be as well."
The rematch between the Nuggets and the Lakers tips off at 7:30 p.m. E.T. Denver is a slight favorite over the purple and gold, per SI.com.
