Excitement Grows for Lakers’ New Season…
We’re less than two months away from the 2025-26 NBA season, and Los Angeles Lakers fans are bouncing with excitement like kangaroos on pogo sticks to see Luka Doncic in the purple and gold! Right now, Doncic is dazzling for Slovenia at EuroBasket, but by September 5, fans will be slam dunking virtual basketballs in NBA 2K26. This highly anticipated game drops before the real action starts on October 21. Fans are looking forward to seeing the new Lakers lineup, including Deandre Ayton, Marcus Smart, and Jake LaRavia paired with the legendary trio: Doncic, LeBron James, and Austin Reaves. The player ratings have stirred quite the debate, with NBA 2K26 drama hotter than popcorn at the movies!
Luka Doncic gets a stellar rating of 95, sharing the top 10 honors with LeBron James at 94. Meanwhile, Austin Reaves earned an 85 rating, showing he’s not just the team’s janitor! With a team rating of 84 and an offensive score of 88, the Lakers are blazing faster than a jet-fueled unicorn rampaging through the sky. However, fans may worry about their defensive numbers, which hover around a 66 for interior defense and a 59 for rebounding, proving that their defense won’t be shutting anyone down soon. Marcus Smart shines as the potential defensive savior, ready to leap into action like a superhero post-retirement. Stay tuned for the full Lakers roster ratings in NBA 2K26!
