Inks contract extension with LAL

The Lakers signed Doncic to a three-year contract extension Saturday, Shams Charania of ESPN reports.

Analysis

Doncic was traded to Los Angeles on Feb. 2 in a shocking blockbuster deal that resulted in Anthony Davis being sent to the Mavericks. The next step for the storied Lakers franchise was to secure his long-term future, and that's precisely what the team has done, which sets up the post-LeBron James era. In 25 appearances with his new squad during the 2024-25 campaign, Doncic averaged 28.2 points, 8.1 rebounds, 7.5 assists and 1.6 steals per game, shooting 43.8 percent from the floor and 37.9 percent from beyond the arc.
