The Denver Nuggets have confirmed Nikola Jokic’s contract extension. The NBA star collects a record sum for the new five-year contract.
On Friday (July 8th, 2022), the club announced the extension of the contract with the Serb, who had recently been voted the most valuable player in the North American professional league NBA twice in a row. According to consistent reports, the center will receive around $264 million over the next five years, the largest contract in NBA history.
Record contract for Jokic in the NBA
Jokic was selected by the Nuggets in the 2014 draft, and the Serb has been in the NBA since 2015. Last season, he averaged 27.1 points per game, yet Denver lost in the first round of the playoffs to eventual champions the Golden State Warriors.
