Per Shams Charania of ESPN, Doncic will have a player option for the 2028-29 season - the third year of the deal. Should he decline the option, the 6-foot-6 guard will be eligible for a five-season, $417 million maximum deal at that point.
The 26-year-old guard's new deal could is slated to be worth $160.8 million, provided the league's latest projection of its 7 percent cap increase. The deal could be worth up to $165.3 million, should the cap increase by 10 percent.
