Luka Doncic described the Lakers as 'happy'

The Lakers seem to be in a good frame of mind following Luka Doncic's minicamp in Slovenia.

The Los Angeles Lakers are eagerly anticipating the start of their training camp, preseason and regular season, according to star player Luka Doncic. During the recent minicamp in Slovenia, Doncic described the team as "happy" in a video shared on the Lakers' official X account. This sentiment echoes the positive vibes expressed by other players, including recent recruit Bronny James.

While acknowledging that the Lakers are not currently considered championship contenders, Doncic has demonstrated his ability to elevate team performance beyond individual talent. Last season, the team finished with a 53-29 record and the fourth seed in the Western Conference before being eliminated in the second round by the Oklahoma City Thunder.

The squad also went 10-4 in the absence of injured star LeBron James, who missed the first 14 games due to sciatica. Notably, Reaves stepped up during that stretch, averaging 28.3 points and 8.2 assists per game.
