Lakers star Luka Doncic was named to Slovenia’s preliminary EuroBasket 2025 roster, marking a step toward his return to international play.

The Los Angeles Lakers need Luka Doncic to get and stay in top shape ahead of his first full season with the organization. However, it seems like he will once again add more mileage to his legs before the start of the season.

Deandre Ayton and superstar Luka Dončić reportedly were very interesting in teaming up this summer on the Los Angeles Lakers after the veteran center agreed to a buyout with the Portland Trail Blazers.
