Luka Doncic, a five-time NBA All-Star, has signed a new contract extension with the Los Angeles Lakers.

The deal is worth $279 million NZD over three years, keeping him with the team until at least 2028.

Doncic shared the news online, saying he’s excited to help the Lakers win championships and thanked fans for their support. Lakers president Rob Pelinka called it a “monumental moment” and praised Doncic for his talent and passion.

Doncic, 26, joined the Lakers earlier this year in a major trade that sent star player Anthony Davis to the Dallas Mavericks. Since arriving, Doncic has been a strong performer, averaging over 28 points per game and helping the Lakers become one of the top teams in the Western Conference.

Originally from Slovenia, Doncic was drafted in 2018 and has become one of the league’s biggest stars. He led the NBA in scoring last season with 33.9 points per game and once scored 73 points in a single match.

On Saturday morning, a group of Year 8 students met at a beach near Tauranga for a community clean-up. They brought gloves, sacks, and water bottles. At first, the sand looked almost clean, but as the group moved closer to the rocks, they found bottles, food wrappers, and fishing line tangled in the seaweed. One student noticed that small pieces of plastic were hardest to collect because they blended in with the shells. By midday, the students had filled eight large bags. Their teacher said the real success was not only the rubbish they removed, but also the way the students helped protect the wildlife that lives along the shore.
