According to Brad Townsend of the Dallas Morning News, Luka Doncic is officially a free agent when it comes to basketball shoes. Per Townsend:
The two-year contract Doncic signed with Nike during his final season at Real Madrid expired Monday. So, too, did Nike’s 180-day window in which it could match the highest bidder and keep Doncic.
As noted in the Morning News (really, read the whole thing), his free agency comes at a perfect time for Doncic. Fellow future superstar Zion Williamson just signed a $75 million deal with Jordan brand (a disappointing view in my eyes), bad-at-basketball Kyle Kuzma is somehow now the “face of Puma”, and Luka is the reigning Rookie of the Year with more clout internationally than any non-American player in the NBA at the moment.
