Doncic (22, 2.01) is entering the final year of his contract and is set to earn $10.2 million this season. He is eligible for the rookie supermax extension. According to Marc Stein, Dallas will start these discussions after the Olympics, since “Luka Magic” is focused on the Olympic medal quest.

Doncic is currently in Japan, leading his home country of Slovenia into the Olympics quarterfinals. Slovenia plays Germany on Tuesday.

The two-time All-NBA pick and 2019 Rookie of the Year averaged 25.7 points, 8.4 rebounds, and 7.7 assists in 199 games (all starts) for the Mavericks since he entered the NBA. He was taken No. 3 overall in the 2018 draft by the Atlanta Hawks, who then flipped him to Dallas for Trae Young and a 2019 first-round pick (Cam Reddish).

The Mavericks finished first in the Southwest Division this past season but were bounced in the first round by the Los Angeles Clippers in seven games. Doncic averaged 35.7 points, 10.3 assists, and 7.9 rebounds in the series.
