“Doncic is on track to become the first $70 million player in NBA history,” stated ESPN’s Bob Marks. “Doncic will be eligible to sign a five-year, $318 million supermax extension if he is named All-NBA in 2023–2024.” He cannot sign the extension since he will only have six years of service remaining in 2024. However, he will be eligible to sign an extension beginning with the 2026–2027 season in 2025 after fulfilling the qualifications (all-NBA in two of the previous three seasons).
