Doncic is currently overseas, preparing to play with his Slovenian team, but he will take a break to come back to the US and sign his new contract with the Lakers.
This is, obviously, nothing but great news for Lakers fans, who loved what they saw from Doncic during his first few months in Los Angeles.
In his 28 games with the Lakers, Doncic averaged 28.2 points, 8.1 rebounds, and 7.5 assists.
More importantly, he looked happy playing with his Lakers teammates, and it seems like he wants to remain in Los Angeles.
When he came to LA, there were worries that he would not commit to the team for a long time.
After all, it wasn’t his choice to be moved from the Dallas Mavericks.
But Doncic had a smile on his face often and, in the offseason, he got to work behind the scenes.
He was apparently involved in the acquisitions of both Deandre Ayton and Marcus Smart, and that is a sign that he’s truly committed to what comes next.
Therefore, this news of him formally signing an extension isn’t shocking, but it is thrilling.
When it’s done, the Lakers will officially start the Doncic era and that is cause for celebration.
With him on board, the future is looking bright in Los Angeles.
