Luka Doncic just signed his rookie extension with the Mavericks. Doncic agreed to a $207 million Supermax extension over the next five years with the Dallas Mavericks. Doncic has only been in the league for the last three seasons. But in that short time, he has established himself as one of the best players in the league.
Doncic, during his short time in the NBA, has been named the NBA Rookie Of The Year, become a multiple-time All-Star, and made an All-NBA First Team. On top of that, Doncic has become a perennial contender for the league MVP title. So it makes sense that the Mavericks would lock down their future superstar, who could end up becoming the face of the NBA in the years to come.
Luka Doncic reacted well to the news of his extension, sharing his love and respect for the city. Upon signing the extension, Doncic showed his gratitude and admiration for the Dallas Mavericks and the fanbase that has been so supportive of him over the last few years. Doncic also revealed that he will be committing his personal foundation to help improve the lives of those in need in Dallas and in his home country of Slovenia.

“Today is a dream come true. Today is a dream come true. I am humbled and excited to remain in Dallas as part of the Mavericks and appreciate the support of my fans. Along with this new contract, I am also happy to announce that I am increasing my efforts and focusing on expanding The Luka Dončić Foundation.”
Doncic has expressed his admiration for the franchise and the city of Dallas, so it comes as no surprise that he extended his contract with the Dallas Mavericks. Doncic is the centerpiece of the Mavericks, and the team will hope to build a championship contender around him over the next few years. And Doncic will continue to excel, as he and the Mavericks have shown improvement with each passing season.
