How Doncic Feels with the Lakers

Being traded from the Dallas Mavericks in February 2025 was a big shock and a source of sadness for Luka Doncic. Today, he says he is really enjoying being with the Los Angeles Lakers. Since LeBron James left, the Slovenian star has become the team's leading figure, and he said he felt he belonged during last year's training camp.

Doncic said he feels very good in Los Angeles, and that he is excited and happy. He described the city as a wonderful place to live and stressed that being part of the Lakers organization is a great honor.

When asked whether he would finish his career with the Lakers, he said he hopes so, but that nobody can ever know what will happen in the NBA. He added that he has found a very comfortable environment for himself there.

The Lakers started the new season with a win over the Clippers and won their first two games. Doncic believes the team still has a lot of room to grow. He called it a positive development that the team won a game in which he personally played poorly. Doncic also added that he and Austin Reaves can play even better together.
