Overview
- Dončić told fans in an email that his recovery “went great” and that he is “100% healthy again,” a message shared publicly on Monday.
- The injury began with a Grade 2 left hamstring strain sustained on April 2 that ended his regular season and led to rehabilitation in Spain after initial MRI findings.
- ESPN reported Dončić was cleared for basketball activities on May 28, and he has followed that clearance with an aggressive rehab program and workouts this summer.
- Dončić invited the full Lakers roster to a four-day minicamp in Slovenia to build chemistry and assert on-court leadership before the 2026–27 season.
- The update matters because Los Angeles overhauled its roster this offseason, including LeBron James’ departure, and Dončić’s recent availability — 114 of 164 regular-season games played over two years — will shape the team’s title chances and early-season cohesion.
