The current NBA champions, the Denver Nuggets, have opted out of visiting the White House to mark their title win, aiming to secure the No. 1 seed in the Western Conference.

However, the Nuggets are now prioritizing their quest for the top seed and wish to avoid distractions.Haynes mentioned on Thursday evening :
«Just last week I was informed that the Nuggets were concerned now because all of a sudden, after March 18, on March 19, they play the Minnesota Timberwolves in Minnesota, and now that game is a little bit more important than they had expected when they did reschedule, The Nuggets made a tough decision, but they're canceling that trip to the White House. ... I want to make this clear, it was clearly a basketball decision.»
