We've a great team and we'll go for it: Doncic
The Straits Times
|October 22, 2025
Even without LeBron James, there will be plenty of star power on the court when the Golden State Warriors visit the Los Angeles Lakers on Oct 21 (Oct 22, Singapore time) for the second half of the NBA’s opening night doubleheader.
-
In focus will be the Warriors’ Stephen Curry, who begins his 17th National Basketball Association season, and the Lakers’ Luka Doncic, who heads into his first full season in Los Angeles after a trade from the Dallas Mavericks in February.
James’ record-breaking 23rd NBA season will be delayed up to a month as he recovers from injury. Doncic and budding star Austin Reaves will have to carry the load for the Lakers moving forward, while Gabe Vincent is expected to start in place of James.
Set to make their Los Angeles debuts will be centre Deandre Ayton, guard Marcus Smart and forward Jake LaRavia. “Honestly, I think we have a great team,” Doncic said.
“We have what we need to compete for the championship. I'll try to win every game no matter what, and we got some new great guys on the team. We're going to go for it.”
