Overview
- Head coach JJ Redick said after Tuesday’s practice that Dončić bought e-bikes for players, coaches and the basketball-operations staff, totaling about 103.
- Subsequent reports identified the bikes as Pedal Electric models, with players receiving the All-Wheel Drive S and staff the lighter H/T.
- Retail listings used for estimates place the gift’s value at more than $340,000, with individual bikes ranging roughly from $2,250 to $3,650.
- Players and staff were seen riding the bikes at the facility and praised the surprise in team videos and interviews.
- The move follows other goodwill efforts by Dončić since joining the Lakers, including a preseason Porsche team outing and a $500,000 donation to L.A. wildfire relief.
