A transformed Luka Dončić returns to the USA - Sportklub
Slovenian basketball star Luka Dončić will travel to the United States before his first training session with the Slovenian national team, apparently to sign a new contract with the Los Angeles Lakers.
In recent times, the 26-year-old Ljubljana star has had more than enough time to "work through" the most turbulent period of his career on his own. He didn't look for the LA Lakers. They looked for him. What has been happening in recent months could be the beginnings of a long-term partnership with the exposed image of Luka Dončić in a new big chapter of one of the most recognizable sports franchises in the world.
Although last season taught us that there is no sealed future in the NBA, even if the back of your jersey says "Dončić", it still seems that Luka and the LA Lakers will announce a long-term journey together in just over a week. The Ljubljana native is already waiting for a new multi-year contract in California. He is expected to sign it on August 2nd.
In this light, it becomes crystal clear and reasonable to explain that the first star of the Slovenian national team will join the preparations for EuroBasket 2025 with a delay. Basically, NBA basketball players can prepare with the national team for 28 days. Luka will shorten this period slightly. "I expect him to arrive after August 4, when he has completed all his obligations in the USA," said coach Aleksander Sekulić yesterday.
The American media speculated that Luka, who has been sculpting his body in recent weeks, losing several kilograms and reducing his body fat percentage, might be delaying signing a new contract since September. There were even hints that he might wait until next summer, when he would be a completely free player and available to all clubs. But it seems that the uncertainty will soon be over. Dončić is said to have agreed to a four-year extension worth 229 million US dollars.
