Luka Dončić Hosts Lakers Minicamp in Slovenia

Luka Dončić will invite the entire Los Angeles Lakers roster, including two‑way players, to his home country for a four‑day minicamp in August. The team will travel to Ljubljana, where the itinerary combines on‑court workouts, golf outings and sightseeing, with Dončić covering all travel costs. The gathering follows LeBron James’s departure to Philadelphia and signals Dončić’s emerging leadership role in the post‑James era.

The minicamp is intended to build chemistry ahead of the official training camp that begins in the fall. It comes as the Lakers have reshaped their roster, adding center Walker Kessler, guard Quentin Grimes, forward Sandro Mamukelashvili, guard Collin Sexton and other new players, all of whom will join Dončić in Slovenia.

The event underscores a shift in the franchise’s offseason approach, with the star player hosting the team in Europe rather than the traditional Las Vegas‑based sessions.
