Luka Doncic organizes Lakers offseason workouts in Slovenia

Summary

Luka Doncic arranged for his Los Angeles Lakers teammates to spend four days in Slovenia for workouts and team bonding. The trip, which included basketball sessions, golf, fishing, and group dinners, aimed to strengthen team chemistry ahead of the upcoming season. Only first-round pick Cameron Carr missed the outing due to league requirements. Doncic, who appeared noticeably leaner, is stepping into a leadership role following LeBron James' departure. The Lakers will start their preseason on October 5 and the regular season on October 21 against the Golden State Warriors.
