In a major move that has sent shockwaves through the NBA, reigning MVP Nikola Jokić has signed a new 3-year contract deal reportedly worth over \$170 million, according to league sources.
The deal ensures that Jokić will remain with the Denver Nuggets through the 2027–28 season, solidifying the franchise’s future with its cornerstone player. The Serbian superstar has been instrumental in Denver’s recent success, including their 2023 NBA Championship and consistent playoff appearances.
With this extension, Jokić becomes one of the highest-paid players in NBA history on a per-year basis. The contract includes a player option in the final year, giving him flexibility while offering the Nuggets a strong foundation to continue building a title-contending roster.
Jokić, 30, has averaged a near triple-double over the past four seasons and remains one of the most dominant and unique big men in basketball history. His loyalty to Denver, combined with his elite production, makes this deal a win-win for both sides.
More details are expected to emerge soon, including potential incentives and team cap implications.
