Luka Donu010diu0107 thought he would spend the rest of his career with the Dallas Mavericks; that, as he was (and we were) stunned to learn back in February, won’t happen. What comes next, now that the Los Angeles Lakers team that traded for the Slovenian superstar has been eliminated from the 2025 NBA playoffs, is Donu010diu0107 figuring out what Plan B for his future will look like — a process that starts with some contractual decisions.
A 26-year-old, five-time All-Star and All-NBA First Team selection, Donu010diu0107 is on the Lakers’ books for just under $46 million next season, and holds a player option for nearly $49 million in the 2026-27 campaign.
