Shams Charania of ESPN reported that Doncic signed a three-year, $165 max extension with the Lakers.
The move puts an end to the lingering speculation about Doncic’s future with the team. Doncic was set to become a free agent next summer, and as long as that remained the case, there was some thought that other teams might try to tempt the Lakers into moving him. That is certainly off the table now.
For the Lakers, things could not be working out much better. Doncic appears to be highly motivated entering his first full season with the team. Now they know they have a commitment from him beyond this season, and should get at least three high-quality campaigns out of him.
In 28 games after being acquired by the Lakers, Doncic averaged 28.2 points, 8.1 rebounds, and 7.5 assists per game.
