Lakers Back Doncic in EuroBasket Mission…

Luka Doncic of the Los Angeles Lakers is warming up for FIBA EuroBasket 2025, starting his adventure by leading Slovenia against Poland. He’s looking like a basketball superhero, just back from transformation camp, where he swapped doughnuts for dumbbells. The Lakers have placed their hopes—and probably a few extra insurance policies—on Doncic, especially after he gave everyone a scare with a knee wobble in a recent game. Luckily, he shook it off like it was just a mosquito bite. The Lakers are nervously optimistic, given Slovenia’s pre-tournament results need a bit more magic.

But have no fear; Rob Pelinka and Jeanie Buss have jet-setted to Poland faster than you can say ‘Slam Dunking Across the Globe.’ Pelinka remarked, “Zero problems,” proving the Lakers are more supportive than your grandma at a bake-off. Showing their commitment, even though Doncic didn’t pick the Lakers in a cosmic twist of trades last year, the organization is orchestrating fireworks to make him feel at home. Doncic himself is pumped, declaring playing for Slovenia is as honor-infused as one of his triple-doubles. Talk about commitment worthy of a standing ovation!
