Nikola Jokić set for record NBA contract as Denver adds new players

Nikola Jokić record NBA contract Denver Nuggets Bobby Marks roster additions

NBA analyst Bobby Marks says Serbian center Nikola Jokić could sign a five‑year deal worth $359.5 million, the largest contract in league history. Jokić is currently under contract with the Denver Nuggets through June 2028, with a player option for the 2027‑28 season. If he declines the option and becomes a free agent next summer, his total career earnings could exceed $724 million.

Meanwhile, the Nuggets announced three roster additions – Marvin Begli Third, Alfa Dijalo and Trevin Brazil – in an effort to bolster support for Jokić. The team also signed veteran forward Loni Voker on a one‑year minimum contract and saw guard Jae'len Picket trade to the Los Angeles Clippers.

Jokić entered the 2025‑26 season after averaging 27.7 points, 12.9 rebounds and 10.7 assists per game, becoming the first player to lead the NBA in both scoring and rebounding in the same season.
