Lakers Star Teases Another Trip With Luka Doncic and Austin Reaves to Find the "Best Fisherman

The Los Angeles Lakers are leaning into offseason bonding with a trip to Slovenia involving Luka Doncic and Austin Reaves. Walker Kessler, the team’s 7-foot-2 center, teased a friendly “best fisherman” competition among the three, joking that they would need fly fishing, lake fishing, and deep-sea fishing to “average out the weights” of the catch. Kessler recently spent three hours fly fishing with friends along Utah’s Provo River, and he said he’s now looking for a suitable spot closer to Los Angeles. The Lakers are scheduled to spend August 20 to 24 in Ljubljana, mixing court sessions with golf and sightseeing, with Doncic covering travel for teammates. Reaves said he plans to challenge Doncic on the golf course, adding that the trip is meant to bring a relatively new roster together off the court as well.
