The Nuggets superstar could sign a projected five-year, $360 million deal in the summer of 2027

Nikola Jokic could become the highest-paid player in NBA history. According to Yahoo Sports’ Kevin O’Connor, the Serbian star will be eligible for a projected five-year, $360 million contract next summer.

Jokic has declined to sign an extension in each of the past two offseasons and can become an unrestricted free agent by turning down his $62.84 million player option for 2027-28. Waiting therefore carries a significant financial advantage.

Despite the contractual uncertainty, O’Connor’s league sources do not expect Jokic to leave Denver. The three-time MVP and 2023 NBA champion has spent his entire career with the Nuggets.
