Luka Doncic formally secured his future with the Los Angeles Lakers on Aug. 2, 2025, signing a three-year contract extension during a press conference at the UCLA Health Training Center in El Segundo, California. The 26-year-old guard embraced team co-owner Jeanie Buss after finalizing a deal that positions him as the franchise’s cornerstone through the 2027-28 season.
The agreement caps the Lakers’ most pressing offseason objective and allows the front office to construct a roster tailored to Doncic’s skill set. Speaking with reporters, agent Seager said the All-NBA superstar never considered testing the market, describing Doncic’s approach to team building as “a marriage” that demands loyalty through both challenges and successes.
President of basketball operations and general manager Rob Pelinka hailed the signing as a “monumental moment in Lakers history,” underscoring Doncic’s role as the organization’s new face. Pelinka noted that locking up the four-time All-Star provides a stable foundation for future championship pursuits.
Doncic, acquired by Los Angeles in a blockbuster trade last season, reportedly made a swift decision to extend, emphasizing his desire to win wherever he plays. The extension now gives the Lakers a clear window to return to the NBA Finals with the Slovenian standout leading the charge.
