It was a heartbreaking scene for Nikola Jokic and the Denver Nuggets on Wednesday night as they saw their season come to an end after an intense 102-98 series-ending loss to Stephen Curry and the mighty Golden State Warriors. The season comes to another bitter end for the Nuggets but for his part, Jokic can take comfort in the fact that he's about to get extremely rich this summer.

Jokic will be eligible for a supermax extension in the offseason and according to Bobby Marks of ESPN, the Nuggets superstar is set to fetch literally the largest contract in the history of the league:

The reigning MVP and this season's favorite to win the award is set to join an exclusive club. Jokic is not only expected to become the ninth player to sign a supermax contract but also the first second-round pick and youngest player to do so.

As of now, the five-year, $254 million contract would be the largest in NBA history.

Now that's some serious money. Jokic is expected to pocket an average of $50.8 million per season starting in 2023-24. The Nuggets aren't expected to mess around with Jokic and they will want to have this deal done at the quickest possible time.

Jokic will be extremely disappointed to see his season come to an end yet again but at least he can cry knowing that he's going to get a big bag of cash in the coming months.
