The Los Angeles Lakers will likely sign Luka Doncic to an extension on Aug. 2 as his Jordan Brand tour gives him a day off in the city before an LA event on Aug. 3. They have clearly made number 77 the star they are building around, which makes the extension a matter of when. Doncic wants to commit to the franchise and show he is here to stay. Fans are already seeing that with his recruiting. Still, being locked in for multiple years takes that bond to a new level.
Lakers fans shouldn’t be surprised if Doncic signs a shorter extension.
