The Los Angeles Lakers just made one of the boldest moves in franchise history, and it’s getting a big stamp of approval from one of basketball’s biggest names. After a headline-making ownership shift, NBA star Luka Doncic has joined the Lakers and shared his first public message

Luka’s post shows full support and brings even more excitement, saying he’s ready to win under the team’s new leadership
On June 19, NBA star Luka Doncic posted on his X account after a major team update. He wrote,
“The Lakers are an amazing organization. I’m looking forward to meeting Mark and excited about the future.
