Nikola Jokić’s no-look pass steals the show in Denver’s preseason game
A single no-look pass from Jokić against the Clippers quickly became the defining moment of Denver’s preseason clash.
Nikola Jokić produced one of the slickest assists of the preseason as Denver faced the Los Angeles Clippers, a single play that quickly dominated sports feeds even though the Nuggets did not come away with a win.
The no-look feed that everyone replayed
The Serbian center did not pile up points in the friendly match, but his vision and passing were once again the story: teammates found open looks repeatedly thanks to Jokić’s court awareness. Earlier in the preseason he has already posted triple-double performances in exhibition games, signalling he arrives motivated for the regular season.
Video of the play circulated widely on Thursday after the NBA’s official account highlighted the sequence. "This no-look pass to the corner was WILD 😳" — NBA (@NBA) October 15, 2026.
On the highlight, Jokić threads a pass without looking directly at the recipient, sending the ball to the corner where a teammate finished. The move underlined the unique combination of touch and timing that has defined his game over recent seasons.
Denver will take the positives into the regular schedule, but the clip is the kind of moment that reshapes headlines on its own: elite passing that makes even low-scoring nights memorable.
