Luka Dončić is set to remain with the Los Angeles Lakers, having agreed to a four-year, $229 million contract extension. This deal, which he can officially sign on August 2, 2025, solidifies his position as the cornerstone of the franchise .
The extension comes after a high-profile midseason trade from the Dallas Mavericks to the Lakers, where Dončić was exchanged for Anthony Davis in a three-team deal involving the Utah Jazz . Despite the trade, Dončić has been actively involved in the Lakers’ offseason plans, including recruiting key players like Marcus Smart and Deandre Ayton .
While the new contract is slightly less than the $345 million supermax extension he could have signed with the Mavericks, it ensures Dončić’s presence in Los Angeles through at least the 2029–30 season . This move signifies a new era for the Lakers, with Dončić at the helm, aiming to lead the team back to championship contention .
