Nikola Jokic's situation (30 years old) has been in the center of attention since technician Michael Malone left Denver. It was uncertain if he believed in the project after the coach's dismissal a few days before the playoff starts. However, most likely, the Serb will remain on this team.
There are very high chances that Jokic will extend his contract with Denver, in the summer, for three years. The new contract would be worth $ 212 million, according to Sportal.blic.rs.
The fans of Denver can stay quiet about Jokic
Jokic is considered an important piece in the team's gear. The Serb won a title and three NBA MVP prizes with Denver, but things are not perfect in Colorado. The franchise made a few mistakes, which led to the dismissal of Malone and Calvin Booth.
Even though Jokic has repeatedly stated that he would like to end his career at Denver, this remains to be seen after the last chaos in the club. NBA is known for not having untouched players. The best example is the case of Luka Doncic, who left Dallas at Los Angeles Lakers at the beginning of the year.
Jokic's current contract is huge
Jokic's current contract is valid until season 2027/2028. The distribution of revenues is as follows: this season will receive $ 51,415,938, for next year the amount increases to $ 55,224,526, then in season 2026/27 reaches $ 59,033,114, cites the same source.
For season 2027/28 there is an option in the contract, the season by which the Serbian athlete would receive $ 62,841,702. This means that Nikola has the possibility, before that season begins, to decide whether or not he wants to stay. Many assume that this last option will be eliminated from the contract, but the whole situation will most likely clarify in the summer.
