Pelinka stated the franchise wants Dončić to know that they have his back, so to speak, and that everyone supports him as he represents his country. Along with Pelinka and Buss were Kurt and Linda Rambis, along with director of player performance and health, Dr. Leroy Sims. Dončić tweaked his knee during Slovenia’s warm-up schedule, from which he’s since been cleared to return, but the Lakers are not worried.When Luka Dončić decided to lace up for Slovenia at the 2025 EuroBasket tournament, the Los Angeles Lakers didn’t just shrug it off—they went all in. Jeanie Buss and Rob Pelinka didn’t stay back in L.A.; instead, they jetted to Poland to catch a glimpse of Luka and his Slovenian squad’s final practice, a clear message that the franchise stands firmly behind their star. Luka’s commitment to his homeland? Undeniable. “If I’m good to go, I’m playing,” he said, plain and simple. Even after a little knee scare during warm-ups, the Lakers’ brass and medical team kept calm—because backing Luka means more than just game day in the NBA; it’s about supporting his passion and pride on the international stage. And after that blockbuster trade last season and his shiny new contract, it’s clear the Lakers are betting big, not only on Luka’s NBA brilliance but on his heart too. This summer glimpse into Luka’s journey shows just how intertwined his individual goals and team ambitions really are—and trust me, it’s worth watching. LEARN MOREAdvertisement
