Nikola Jokić Confirms Intent to Sign Max Extension With Denver Nuggets

Nikola Jokić confirmed at media day that he plans to sign a massive contract extension with the Denver Nuggets next year, playfully adding 'if they want me.' Bypassing a four-year, $278 million deal this summer for a potential five-year, $360 million package, the three-time MVP remains the franchise cornerstone. Executive Ben Tenzer expressed zero concerns about his long-term future after Jokić averaged 27.7 points, 12.9 rebounds, and 10.7 assists last season.
