Luka Doncic signed a three-year max contract extension with the Los Angeles Lakers on Saturday.
The deal, worth $165 million, includes a player option for the 2028-29 season. Doncic's short-term future is now settled and the Lakers can breath easier knowing he won't hit free agency next summer, as would have been the case if he declined to sign an extension. It also sets the Slovenian superstar up for a truly massive payday; he'll be eligible for a max deal worth over $400 million when his player option arrives three summers from now.
