In an email to fans relayed by The Athletic's Dan Woike, Doncic confirmed his offseason rehab is complete. The update carries weight because his absence exposed how much the Lakers' offense leaned on him last spring, and it lands just as the roster around him has been almost entirely rebuilt.Luka Doncic drops latest injury updateLuka Doncic suffered a Grade 2 strain in his left hamstring on April 2, an injury that shut down his regular season and ruled him out for the playoffs. Woike reported that further evaluation in Spain found more damage than the original imaging suggested, sending Doncic overseas for treatment. ESPN's Dave McMenamin reported he was cleared for basketball activities on May 28, roughly two weeks after the Lakers' playoff run ended."My recovery went great, and I'm 100% healthy again," Doncic wrote to fans, adding that stepping away from the game each summer is part of his usual routine and tends to leave him more motivated once he returns."I took a real break from basketball the first few weeks after the season ended to rehab my body. My recovery went great, and I’m 100% healthy again," Doncic shared in the email.The Lakers superstar went on to add, "Taking some time away from basketball is something I do at the start of every offseason. It’s a different way to do things, but it works for me. When I let myself miss the game a little bit and try some new things, it only makes me more excited and motivated to get back to playing."A rebuilt roster leans on a healthy DoncicThe injury's cost was visible in the numbers. Los Angeles posted a 119.4 offensive rating with Doncic on the floor last season against 111.9 with him off it, based on NBA.com tracking, and the gap showed up in a second-round sweep to Oklahoma City. Doncic still won his second career scoring title at 33.5 points per game, adding 7.7 rebounds and 8.3 assists.CategoryDetail2025-26 scoring33.5 points per game (NBA scoring leader)Rebounds / Assists7.7 rpg / 8.3 apgSteals1.6 per gameShooting splits.476 / .366 / .780Offensive rating, on/off court119.4 / 111.9 (NBA.com)Games played, last two seasons114 of a possible 164That production now carries more weight with LeBron James gone to Philadelphia. The Lakers also lost Rui Hachimura, Marcus Smart, Luke Kennard and Jaxson Hayes in free agency and traded Deandre Ayton to Washington, replacing them with nine new additions including Walker Kessler, Quentin Grimes and Collin Sexton. Austin Reaves re-signed on a four-year deal, leaving him, Doncic and Kessler as the roster's core.Shai Gilgeous-Alexander's father drops Luka Doncic from top 3 point guard listNot everyone is convinced Doncic still ranks among the position's best. Vaughn Alexander, father of Thunder guard Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, used a weekend livestream to list his top three point guards: his son first, Detroit's Cade Cunningham second, and Memphis' Ja Morant third. He argued that defense should factor into any such ranking, noting Doncic has been an MVP-level scorer but has work to do on the other end."He's in the MVP conversation every year. He's top three," Alexander said of Doncic, before pointing to Gilgeous-Alexander's steals numbers as the kind of two-way standard he believes should count.Doncic isn't waiting for that debate to settle before getting to work. He's invited the full Lakers roster, including two-way players, to Slovenia for a four-day minicamp this month, with workouts alongside golf and sightseeing in Ljubljana built into the schedule. Training camp opens in late September, with media day expected around September 29. This time, Doncic plans to be the one setting the tone from the start.
