In a blockbuster move that has sent shockwaves through the NBA, Luka Doncic is now officially a Los Angeles Laker.
The five-time All-Star point guard, who has dazzled with the Dallas Mavericks, joins LA in a massive three-team trade confirmed late last night.
The Lakers hailed Doncic as a “one-of-a-kind, young global superstar,” solidifying his status as one of the league’s brightest stars.
The addition of the 24-year-old to their roster is expected to elevate the team as they continue their pursuit of another NBA championship.
The deal also sees the Mavs securing a first-round pick in the 2029 draft, marking a major step in their long-term strategy.
This bold trade signals the Lakers’ commitment to contending for championships while reshaping their roster around Doncic’s immense talent, while Dallas and Utah position themselves for the future.
