Luka Doncic appears to be making the most of his NBA offseason.
Doncic posted a series of photos on his Instagram Story on Sunday afternoon that included pictures of him enjoying some time out on the water.

The first photo of Doncic featured him free-falling into the ocean with his arms spread and feet going straight down.
The second photo of Doncic featured him riding on a jet ski in the deep ocean.
It’s been a busy week for the Lakers as they are now ready to fully embrace Doncic as their franchise player after news broke Wednesday that LeBron James informed the Lakers he would not return to the franchise next season.
As the Lakers are preparing for life without James, they’ve been one of the NBA’s more active teams since the offseason began.
The Lakers made a splash in building around Doncic as they landed his dream big man, Walker Kessler, in a sign-and-trade with the Jazz in a deal that cost the Lakers four first-round draft picks.

Besides adding Kessler, the Lakers also focused on getting younger.
The franchise signed Quentin Grimes, Sandro Mamukelashvili and Collin Sexton.
They also made a splash in the NBA draft, selecting Cameron Carr with the No. 24 pick on June 23.
The Lakers also gave Austin Reaves a four-year, $185 million contract extension.
With a revamped, youthful roster that doesn’t feature James headlining it, a new era of Lakers basketball is underway.
Doncic is only 27 years old and is entering his prime. He is a six-time All-Star and a two-time scoring champion. Doncic was a vital part in helping the Mavericks reach the NBA Finals in 2024.
