Jeanie Buss and Rob Pelinka join EuroBasket…
Since the cosmic trade that landed Luka Doncic in Los Angeles, the Lakers have gone all out to support him—short of sending him a welcome basket on a rocket. With FIBA EuroBasket 2025 around the corner, Laker heads Jeanie Buss and Rob Pelinka have jetted off to Poland. They’ve taken a break from basking in the Los Angeles sun to cheer on Doncic as he represents Slovenia, showing their commitment like parents at a talent show, even though they could be worried about potential injuries affecting regular NBA play.
This grand gesture by Buss and Pelinka underscores the ‘Lakers family’ mantra. Traveling to Europe to encourage him as Slovenia gears up for the tournament speaks volumes. It’s like buying cookies from every kid on the block to show you care! Doncic plans to lead Slovenia to a EuroBasket medal and then bring an NBA championship back to L.A. He’s slated to face Poland on Aug. 28, take on France, probably with a baguette in hand, on Aug. 30, meet Belgium the next day, then finish against Iceland and Israel. Advancing teams move to knockout rounds starting Sept. 6.
