2 min read

Make no mistakes on the grounds of loyalty and promise when you talk about the Slovenian Sensation. Because this 26-year-old knows what he wants. He knows where his true self lies and where he wants to be. February 2025 was extremely difficult for Luka Doncic. Leaving his only home, Dallas felt like a brutal stab in his heart. Cold-blooded, merciless. However, that’s the past, now buried six feet deep in the NBA’s soil. Why?

Well, ring the bells of joy and let the whole world know: Los Angeles Lakers All-NBA star Luka Doncic has signed a three-year, $165 million maximum contract extension with the franchise, with a player option in 2028. This time, Shams Charania’s tweet didn’t send horrors across the fandom. This time, no one is trading Doncic. He just sealed his fate in purple and gold.

Meanwhile, the Slovenian superstar took to his X handle to share a photo of himself dressed in a white t-shirt. And guess what he has in front of him? The contract, with a pen in his hand. Oh yes! This isn’t a dream, after all! He wrote: I just signed my extension with the Lakers. Excited to keep working to bring championships to LA and make Laker Nation proud. Grateful to the Lakers, my teammates and all the fans who’ve shown so much love since day one. This is just the beginning.
