SAN DIEGO — Nikola Jokic held court for at least 15 minutes. A trio of NBA referees surrounded him as he pointed to various spots on the floor, as he ushered JT Orr to the free-throw line, as he mimed a euro step move without a basketball and absorbed the ref’s explanation of legal defensive position. A couple of Nuggets assistant coaches shook their heads laughing as they walked by the otherwise vacated practice court at UC San Diego. With animated curiosity — and maybe some notes of defiance — Jokic took advantage of his opportunity to talk shop with…

Denver’s hottest office market has another new building on the way, although groundbreaking came later than expected. Denver-based BMC Investments, led by CEO Matt Joblon, is breaking ground on a seven-story, 94,000-square-foot office building on a 0.43-acre site at 242 Milwaukee St. in Denver’s Cherry Creek neighborhood.

The would-be developer of high-end apartments near RTD’s Westminster Station claims the city of Westminster is unfairly capitalizing on Xcel Energy’s delays to buy back land. “It’s like a ‘gotcha’ situation here where they are trying to manufacture a reason not to develop the property,” said Lux Living lawyer Renato Mariotti. “We are ready to develop.” The Missouri-based developer bought city land next to the station’s parking garage for $634,000  in 2019 with plans to build its 146-unit The Ivy. It was to have a floor-to-ceiling fireplace, a movie theater, a float pod relaxation room and Turkish spa, self-pour beer and…

By AAMER MADHANI and COLLIN BINKLEY, Associated Press WASHINGTON (AP) — The White House is asking nine major universities to commit to President Donald Trump’s political priorities in exchange for more favorable access to federal money.

The co-chairs of Denver’s American Indian Commission no longer want the city to organize an Indigenous Peoples Day event this month, citing an ongoing feud among the panel’s members and with a City Council member. The two commission leaders wrote about the dispute in a letter sent to Mayor Mike Johnston last week, ahead of the city’s first observance of that day as a paid city holiday. Trennie Burch and Deserea Richards called out Councilwoman Stacie Gilmore by name, alleging that she had directly interfered with their work. “(Her) actions have undermined the independence and integrity of the commission,” they…
