The Los Angeles Lakers have begun a new era built around Luka Dončić, marking their first media day of that period. Coverage in The Athletic notes the unusually subdued, 'ghost-town' atmosphere around the event, raising the question of whether the low-key environment could help the team keep its focus as the Dončić-led season gets underway.
Why now: The Lakers are starting their first season framed around Luka Dončić as the franchise's central figure, drawing attention to how the team is approaching it.
