Nikola Jokić signs record NBA supermax deal with Denver Nuggets

Serbian center Nikola Jokić, the NBA’s triple‑MVP, is set to agree on a super‑max contract extension with the Denver Nuggets. He has two options: a three‑year deal worth $214 million, averaging over $71 million per season, or a four‑year contract valued at $278 million, averaging $69.5 million.
