Doncic, who turned 22 on Sunday, became an NBA All-Star for the second time in his three-year NBA career earlier this month. He entered Sunday’s game averaging 28.5 points, 8.4 rebounds and 9.0 assists.
The price of his card was more than half of the $ 8.05million he earns this season in the third year of his rookie contract, for Spotrac. Under NBA rookie salary scale, Onyeka Okongwu, the seventh pick in the 2020 NBA Draft, earns $ 4.84 million in 2020-21.
