Lakers' Luka Doncic put on notice ahead of 2026 season originally appeared on The Sporting News. Add The Sporting News as a Preferred Source by clicking here.
The Los Angeles Lakers are going to be totally different this year. The obvious difference is that LeBron James is gone. But, it's not just about James. When a player of his status leaves a franchise after nearly a decade, it shifts the whole dynamic of that team and its remaining stars.
Now, Luka Doncic is really the face of this franchise. He's a superstar and can handle the pressure, but one NBA **** yst thinks he's going to really have to step it up in the new season.
He's not wrong, either. The Lakers are in a bit of a tumult after losing James, and this next season is pivotal.
In a piece for Bleacher Report out on Saturday, Grant Hughes names one player with the most to prove on every NBA team going into the new season.
