Luka Donu010diu0107’s sensational summer of 2021 just keeps going.
The Mavericks’ superstar point guard, fresh from leading Slovenia to its first men’s basketball appearance in the Olympics and narrowly missing a medal, was back in his home country Tuesday to sign a record supermax contract extension.
He deal was officially announced shortly before 8 a.m., Dallas time.
The deal, worth $207-million over five seasons according to numerous reports, kicks in during the 2022-23 season and will keep Donu010diu0107 under contract as a Maverick until 2027.
Signing the deal, which was done with the Mavericks’ small army of representatives and agent Bill Duffy in Slovenia, was a no-brainer for both sides.
