Los Angeles Lakers star Luka Dončić is organizing and fully funding a four-day minicamp in his native Slovenia for his teammates in August. The trip aims to foster chemistry and camaraderie among a roster that has seen significant changes from the previous season. The itinerary includes workouts, pickup games, golf, and sightseeing in Ljubljana, Slovenia's capital.
Dončić is covering the expenses for all but one player on the Lakers' current 17-man roster to attend the camp. Rookie Cameron Carr will be unable to participate because the dates conflict with a mandatory NBA rookie orientation, according to NBA insider Marc Stein.
Carr, the Lakers' first-round selection at No. 24 overall in the 2026 NBA Draft, impressed during Summer League and is expected to contribute to the team this upcoming season. While Carr will miss the opportunity to build relationships with his new teammates during the Slovenia trip, he will have ample time to connect with them once the team reconvenes in Los Angeles. Fans can anticipate updates on the team's activities both on and off the court during their time in Slovenia.
