Today, Jokic was interviewed.
When asked whether he would sign a contract extension next year, Jokic said: "I was not thinking about this. In my opinion, renewal of the contract is more like a reward, and it is a natural thing in this sport — Especially in today's NBA, you can also see the trend of the salary cap. My plan is to stay with the Nuggets forever. That's my answer."
Jokic renewed his contract with the Nuggets in advance in 2022, signing a 5-year, $276 million super maximum salary contract. There are three years left in the contract, of which the 2025-26 salary is $55.22 million, the 2026-27 salary is $59.03 million, and the 2027-28 season is a player option worth $62.84 million.
ESPN salary expert Bobby Marks once revealed that Jokic can renew his contract with the Nuggets in advance from July 9 this year, and can sign a three-year, $200 million super maximum salary contract. The first year of the new contract will cover the player options for the last year of the original contract. If you wait until the 2026 offseason to renew your contract early, the money Jokic is eligible for will increase by 77 million US dollars, that is, you can sign $277 million for four years next summer.
