Jokic: Early renewal is a reward. This is natural in the sports world

Recently, Nuggets star Nikola Jokic talked about his failure to renew his contract in advance in the offseason. "I didn't actually think about this. I think these early renewals are a reward, a natural thing in sports. Especially in today's NBA, you can see the salary cap growing."

Jokic gave up the opportunity to sign a four-year, $212 million contract this summer because he can sign an equally four-year, $293 million early renewal next year.
