Overview
- Dončić told fans in an email reported Monday that he is “100% healthy” after rehabbing a Grade 2 left hamstring strain that ended his 2025–26 season.
- ESPN reported he was cleared for basketball activities on May 28, and Dončić says he has been back in full training for months.
- He invited the full Lakers roster to a four-day minicamp in Slovenia this August to accelerate team bonding and on-court chemistry.
- The update matters because Dončić led the NBA in scoring in 2025–26 (33.5 points per game) and the Lakers’ offense dropped without him, making his availability central to the team’s title hopes.
- With LeBron James gone and a major roster overhaul in place, Dončić’s health raises near-term expectations and shapes longer-term decisions about extensions or possible trades if the club fails to contend.
