Nike and its Jordan Brand announced on Twitter that the 20-year-old was the latest contribution to their family. Dončić confirmed this on his official web page, adding that he had signed a five-year deal and that more details are to follow.

Dončić has thus become the first European basketball player to have signed a shoe deal with the Jordan Brand, reads the statement released on the web page.

The Dallas Mavericks star returned to the floor on Thursday, leading his team in a win against the San Antonio Spurs after missing a few games due to the ankle injury.

He will be the face of the brand along with Zion Williamson, the first pick in the 2019 NBA Draft. The Jordan Brand was launched by Nike and five-time NBA MVP Michael Jordan in 1984.
