The NBA landscape changed last season when the Los Angeles Lakers acquired Luka Doncic from the Dallas Mavericks.

Doncic was traded in a deal that sent Anthony Davis to the Mavericks. The NBA star was paired with LeBron James, forming one of the best duos in the league.

He's now preparing for his first full season with the Lakers, heading into the season looking to compete for an NBA title alongside James, both working under head coach JJ Redick.

While he works toward the 2025-26 season with the Lakers, Doncic was also working on some exciting things outside of the white lines.

Doncic has collaborated with Player Overwatch, launching an exclusive Luka rewards program for Season 18.

"Cowboys never die," posted Player Overwatch in a collaborated post with Luka Doncic. "Think you’re a sharpshooter like Luka Dončić? Earn exclusive Luka rewards and try out his custom Stadium builds when you hop into Season 18 TOMORROW."

The collaboration with Luka Doncic officially drops on Tuesday.
