Luka Dončić Leads Lakers' Player‑Run Minicamp in Slovenia

The player‑run program was designed to hasten team chemistry around Dončić as the Lakers' new on‑court leader.

Overview

  • The four‑ to five‑day minicamp concluded Monday with nearly the full Lakers roster in Ljubljana for structured on‑court work and off‑court bonding.
  • The team posted video highlights of on‑court drills and small‑group play to the Lakers' official X account showing lineup testing and skill work.
  • Holger Geschwindner, Dirk Nowitzki’s longtime shooting coach, was observed helping at workouts as part of Dončić’s shooting and youth‑development initiatives.
  • Dončić guided teammates to his refurbished childhood court and to a pediatric clinic in Ljubljana, combining community outreach with team bonding.
  • The trip gave early evidence of chemistry for a heavily retooled roster built around Dončić and Austin Reaves and offered coaches a first look at how new additions might fit.
