On March 3, Beijing time, the 2021-22 NBA regular season was in full swing. Earlier today, Nuggets star Jokic's agent, Raznatovic, confirmed in a podcast show that Jokic is expected to sign a super-maximum salary extension contract with the Nuggets this summer!
According to NBA salary expert Bobby Marks, because Jokic was elected MVP last season, he is eligible for a super-maximum salary renewal contract in 2022 or 2023. His new contract is expected to break NBA history records, with a total value estimated at $241 million.
Raznatović said: "As expected, Jokic's contract extension should be signed this summer. When he renewed his contract with the Nuggets in 2018, I just sent him an email, but if things go ahead this year as we planned, we want to throw him a big party. But as far as I know about him, maybe nothing will happen, everything will be the same as in 2018, for him he just wants to sign a document. ”
So far in his career, the 27-year-old Jokic has been elected MVP once, named to the All-Star Team four times, twice named to the NBA All-NBA First Team, and once to the NBA All-NBA Team Two. During the season, Jokic averaged 33 minutes per game and was able to finish with 25.5 points, 13.8 rebounds, 8 assists and 1.4 steals, shooting 56.7% from the field. The Nuggets are currently 36-25, ranking 6th in the West!
