He has an unresolved contract situation, but he could resolve it with an extension this summer. Despite the possibility of signing an extension, Doncic told reporters after the game, according to Bleacher Report, that he hasn't thought about it yet, and he's only focused on basketball at the moment.

"And when it came to the Mavericks-Lakers trade talks that led to the deal, league and team sources say Doncic’s uncertain long-term status was the primary reason the Lakers were able to avoid giving up their 2031 first-round pick in the deal."

If Dončić opts for immediate long-term security, he could sign a four-year, $228.6 million extension that goes into effect in the 2026-27 season. That would help the Lakers manage the cap since it would keep his average annual salary at $57.15 million.
