The best player in Nuggets franchise history has a plan.

Nikola Jokic was asked about his contract situation after leading Serbia to a win over Bosnia and Herzegovina in a World Cup qualifier Monday. Jokic became eligible to sign a max extension Monday, but that’s not part of his plan.

“My idea is to sign next summer and stay in Denver for the rest of my (career),” Jokic said via an automated translation.

Serbian journalist Marko Ljubomirovic shared video of the exchange on X.

If Jokic signed this summer, he could receive a four-year super-max extension worth between $250 million and $300 million, depending on the growth of the salary cap in coming seasons. Next summer, Jokic could sign a five-year extension and receive a no-trade clause, which could help ensure he only wears a Nuggets uniform.

Nuggets executives Ben Tenzer and Jon Wallace said in June they are comfortable with Jokic’s contract situation..
