Lakers fans are disappointed by the lack of coverage of their superstar Luka Doncic, who is competing this summer with the Slovenian national team at EuroBasket.
Although the NBA season is still more than a month away, some of the league’s biggest stars are already shining at EuroBasket 2025.

One of them is Los Angeles Lakers superstar Luka Doncic, who has been nothing short of sensational with Slovenia, leading the entire tournament in scoring.
Despite his dominance, many Lakers fans have expressed frustration over the team’s lack of coverage of his performances.
The backlash intensified after the Lakers’ latest social media post, in which they finally highlighted Doncic’s EuroBasket averages. Fans questioned why it took so long for the franchise to acknowledge their star player.
“About damn time you started posting about your franchise player instead of celeb fits,” one fan commented.
“Embarrassingly late compared to every other franchise, who’ve been posting about their European stars nonstop for weeks. You’re the only team that didn’t," he added.
On the court, Doncic has been unstoppable, leading the tournament in scoring (34 PPG), efficiency rating (36.7), and steals (3.2 per game). He’s also averaging 8.3 rebounds and ranks second in assists (7.2 per game).
Most importantly, he has guided Slovenia to the quarterfinals, where they are set to face Germany today at 8 p.m. CET / 2 p.m. ET.
