ESPN's Malika Andrews threw Nikola Jokic a clutch assist after the NBA Finals.
The 28-year-old superstar big man misplaced his NBA Finals MVP trophy after celebrating the Denver Nuggets' historic win and needed help recovering it.
The Nuggets defeated the Miami Heat 94-88 in Game 5 to win the NBA Championship capping off the franchise's excellent playoff run.
Jokic was named unanimous Finals MVP after averaging 30.2 points, 14.0 rebounds, 7.2 assists, and 1.4 blocks during the series.
The Joker went viral after his unbothered reaction to winning the award and becoming an NBA champion.
However, he told Malika following the celebration that he had no idea where he had left the trophy.
"I really don't know."
"I left it in (the equipment manager's) room, and it's not there anymore."
The ESPN star reporter quickly reported that the trophy was safe and put up by the team's equipment manager and was being prepared for the Nuggets' championship parade on Thursday.
Jokic showed off the trophy at the parade and expressed he was happy he attended after being concerned that the celebration would cause him to miss his horse race in Serbia over the weekend.
