The Los Angeles Lakers are in the NBA Playoffs, and the credit goes to Luka Doncic, who led the side for most of the matches in the absence of LeBron James when he was injured. The Lakers guard is one of the leading MVP candidates this season, and the list includes some high-profile names.
Watch: Luka Doncic’s low-key response on MVP race amid Wemby comments
Meanwhile, the Slovenian brushed off questions about making a case for the NBA MVP award, opting instead for a humble response that stated team success over individual accolades.
When asked if he wanted to pitch himself for the honor following comments from Victor Wembanyama, the Lakers star replied simply:
“I never did that so… I’m not the one voting but I think I’ve been playing pretty good. We been winning. That’s it. That’s all I gotta say.”
The exchange came after a recent Lakers victory, as Doncic continues to play at an elite level this season. His no-drama approach contrasts with more vocal discussions from other top contenders, highlighting his preference to let on-court performance speak for itself amid the tight MVP race involving players like Wembanyama and Shai Gilgeous-Alexander.
Meanwhile, the Lakers recently beat the Cleveland Cavaliers with a score of 127-113 and are 3rd in the Western Conference with a 50-26 record. They will next face the Oklahoma City Thunder on Friday.
