Basketball superstar Luka Doncic has extended his contract with the Dallas Mavericks for five years. Like Dirk Nowitzki, the Slovene should shape an era. And is rewarded princely for it.
Slovenia’s basketball superstar Luka Doncic has signed a lavish new five-year contract with the Dallas Mavericks. The 22-year-old point guard is therefore tied to the Mavs until 2027, as the new contract will only apply from the 2022/2023 season, as the Texans announced on Tuesday. A delegation with owner Mark Cuban, coach Jason Kidd and club icon Dirk Nowitzki was on site in the Slovenian capital Ljubljana to witness the signature of the exceptional athlete.
Doncic’s new contract, which made a big splash at the Tokyo Olympics, has a financial volume of $ 207 million. The 22-year-old Doncic has been playing for Dallas since 2018. He recently led the Slovenian national team to the semi-finals in Japan, where they were narrowly defeated by France. Slovenia lost to Australia in the game for third place.
“This is a very special moment,” said Doncic. “I don’t know what to say. I never thought this would happen. I only dreamed of playing in the NBA.”
