Fantasy Impact
In what was probably the easiest decision in years for the Mavs' front office, Luka is now set to receive his $10.1 million salary for the 2021-22 season before becoming a restricted free-agent in 2022. Fresh off a season in which Doncic ranked fourth in MVP voting, the 21-year-old stud has already become one of the best players in the league and is on track to earn a lot of money throughout his career. Doncic enters the upcoming season as a consensus top-five pick in fantasy drafts regardless of format.
