🔮 By waiting until next summer, Jokic can sign a five-year supermax contract that would be worth in the vicinity of $350 million.
🔮 ENGLEWOOD, Colo. (AP) — Maybe there was something to that “pinky promise” made by Denver Broncos running back J.K. Dobbins, who vowed to play in all 17 games this season.
