All-Star Los Angeles Lakers guard Luka Doncic is putting down roots in his new town.

Sandra Barrera of The Orange County Register and Marc Sternfield of KTLA 5 report that the five-time All-NBA First Teamer forked over $25 million for former five-time Grand Slam tennis champ Maria Sharapova in Orange County.

Sharapova, who retired in 2020 at the ripe old age of 32, has enjoyed an active summer, having just been inducted into the International Tennis Hall of Fame.

Doncic can afford the new digs, thanks to the three-season, $165 million contract extension he agreed to with Los Angeles.

The modern, three-story Manhattan Beach mansion boasts five bedrooms, a pool, and a two-lane bowling alley.

It's the second massive house Doncic has bought this calendar year. Doncic, who was acquired by the Lakers in a blockbuster February trade, had just bought a $15 million estate in Dallas with the Mavericks a week before the deal.

With the Lakers' facility located on the west side of town, in El Segundo, and the team's Crypto.com homecourt square in downtown L.A., players and coaches live all over town. 21-time All-NBA power forward LeBron James has properties in Brentwood, near UCLA. Head coach JJ Redick had owned a home in the Pacific Palisades, which unfortunately he lost in the historically devastating January wildfires.

10-time All-Star power forward/center Anthony Davis, whom the Lakers had traded to the Dallas Mavericks acquire Doncic, had lived in an eight-bedroom Bel Air mansion, which he is now selling for $39.9 million, according to TMZ.

Doncic, 26, appeared in 28 games for L.A. after the deal, averaging 28.2 points on .438/.379/.791 shooting splits, 8.1 rebounds, 7.5 assists, and 1.6 steals a night. The union of the 6-foot-6 guard, James, and shooting guard Austin Reaves was a bit tenuous on the hardwood. Their offensive fit was fairly impressive, but their defensive fit left a lot to be desired.

The Lakers greatly missed Davis and 3-and-D wing Max Christie in the playoffs, where they quickly got their lunch handed to them by the lower-seeded Minnesota Timberwolves in a brisk, five-game first-round playoff series.
