Three-time MVP Nikola Jokić has expressed his intention to finish his NBA career with the Denver Nuggets, but an overseas interest from Panathinaikos Basketball Club owner Dimitrios Giannakopoulos raises questions about his future. Giannakopoulos proposed buying out the last year of Jokić’s contract, which the Nuggets declined, yet he hopes to attract Jokić in free agency next summer. Jokić has two seasons and $121.8 million remaining on his deal, with a player option after the 2027 season, allowing him to become an unrestricted free agent. Although Giannakopoulos has significant financial resources, Jokić remains focused on staying with Denver and in the NBA.
