After the season, the Lakers went back to the drawing board, preparing for their first full season with Doncic. When they acquired the young star, L.A. dealt several other key pieces such as, Anthony Davis and Max Christie.

While he was working through the offseason, potentially taking the time to train for the new year or take some time away from the court, Doncic took to social media.

He reacted to a post from his former basketball club, Real Madrid, who officially announced that they won the 2024-25 EuroLeague championship.

Doncic shared the news with over 10.5 million followers on social media.

Doncic previously played for Real Madrid before getting drafted by the Dallas Mavericks. He played for the European club from 2015 to 2018.

During his time in Europe, Doncic was a two-time EuroLeague Rising Star, won the EuroLeague MVP and led Real Madrid to the EuroLeague championship in his final season with the club.

Last season with the Los Angeles Lakers, Doncic continued to prove that he's one of the best scorers and facilitators in the NBA.

Doncic capped off the season posting 28.2 points, 8.2 rebounds and 7.7 assists per game.
