The Lakers superstar is playing at an MVP level, but the biggest change behind Luka Doncic’s rise happened away from the court.
Luka Doncic has made a dominant start to the season with the Los Angeles Lakers, averaging approximately 40 points per game. According to NBA insider Kirk Goldsberry, a source close to the situation revealed that Doncic's surge is driven by being clear-headed away from basketball. The report notes Doncic has found personal stability after facing off-court challenges, including a divorce, a custody dispute, and adapting to his trade from the Dallas Mavericks.
On the court, head coach JJ Redick has given Doncic full control of the offense following the departure of LeBron James. A reshaped roster featuring center Walker Kessler and guard Austin Reaves has supported Doncic's MVP-caliber campaign, placing him among the top candidates alongside Victor Wembanyama.
