After months of waiting, Los Angeles Lakers fans are going to be treated to a full season with Luka Doncic leading the franchise.
Doncic wasted no time committing to his new home this past summer, signing a three-year extension on the first day he was allowed to do so. With LeBron James out to start the 2025-26 season, he has an opportunity to show the fans that he’s the right person to lead the team into the future.
The Lakers begin the new year on Opening Night when they play host to the Golden State Warriors. While fans will miss out on seeing James and Curry, they’ll get to see Doncic try and get the purple and gold off on the right foot.
