What happened: Holger Geschwindner attended the Los Angeles Lakers' offseason workout in Slovenia. He works closely with Luka Dončić on the Total Hoops Approach, alongside the Search Institute through Dončić-backed funding.

Why it matters: Geschwindner's presence connects the team gathering with Dončić's broader youth-development work. The four-day camp gives the Lakers an early start on preparations for 2026-27.

What to watch: The Slovenia gathering is scheduled to conclude Aug. 24. The Lakers will reconvene for training camp ahead of the 2026-27 season.
