UPDATE Dec. 26, 2019: Jordan Brand revealed today that it has added Luka Doncic to its ambassador roster.

Luka Doncic may soon be hitting the court in sneakers with Jumpman branding.
The young baller could be close to inking a multiyear deal with Jordan Brand, according to Tim Cato and Shams Charania of The Athletic via Twitter. Terms of the deal were not disclosed, and Jordan Brand has not confirmed the news.
If true, the star of the Dallas Mavericks will join a loaded ambassador roster that includes Zion Williamson, Chris Paul, Russell Westbrook, Jayson Tatum and several others. The last signature shoe Jordan Brand revealed was the Jordan Why Not? Zer0.3, the third model for Westbrook. The first colorway, dubbed “Zer0 Noise,” is scheduled to arrive Jan. 2, 2020.
