The Los Angeles Lakers\u2019 performances may have been inconsistent, but their ambitions for the 2025\/26 season remain big. They want to make a deep run in the playoffs and go for the title, and it\u2019s something Luka Doncic feels opposing teams need to watch out for.<\/p>\n
Heading into the All-Star break, the Lakers are 5th in the West with a 33-21 record and are looking like they\u2019ll make it to the playoffs automatically without having to deal with the stress of a play-in date. Anything can happen, though. Sudden dips in form are common, and the Lakers<\/a> have a difficult stretch coming up.<\/p>\n Doncic, on Sports Center, reiterated the importance of sticking together and making sure that the whole team remains healthy.<\/p>\n \u201cWe have three main ball handlers,\u201d the Slovenian began. \u201cMe, AR, and Bron. I think we can be a very, very, dangerous team. We haven\u2019t had much time to play together since everyone has been injured a little bit but I am excited after All-Star, we all get to play together.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n The 25\/26 season began with LeBron James out with sciatica. Then, once he returned, it was Austin Reaves<\/a> who hurt himself right after Christmas, and before heading into the one-week break for All-Star, Luka Doncic had to sit out. So, the Lakers big three have not clocked minutes together consistently.<\/p>\n Still, they\u2019re fifth and continue to battle for positions higher up in the table. It\u2019s understandable that Doncic<\/a> is excited at the prospect of the three of them suiting up together.<\/p>\n
