Luka Doncic sends special message to streamer and comedian Ludwig after missing tournament 

Luka Doncic sent a special message to streamer Ludwig Ahgren after missing a 3x3 tournament organized by the streamer. A post from Luka Updates on X/Twitter showed Ludwig reacted to a video sent to him by Doncic.

On Friday, the streamer said that he had tried contacting Doncic's team so that he could bring the LA Lakers to attend his tournament. He added that he received a response from Doncic's team that he was busy, but also received a video from Doncic attached to the response.

In the personal video sent to the streamer, the Lakers star acknowledged Ludwig's hard work in organizing the tournament and even asked him to hang out in the future.

"Hey Ludwig, I know how hard you worked. Good luck in your tournament," Doncic said. "I wish I could be there. Let's hang out."

Ludwig Ahgren, who has made his name through YouTube and Twitch, had previously announced on Wednesday that he was going to organize a 3X3 basketball tournament. He had also added that the game will be streamed live on Saturday.

Earlier in March this year, Ahgren said during a live stream that he had met Luka Doncic after the latter was traded to the Lakers. He said that he had bought four tickets worth $12,000 to grab the seat right behind the players' bench. He attended the game with another streamer, Pokimane.

New Laker Deandre Ayton opens up about 'ripped' Luka Doncic

This offseason, the Lakers tried to address the lack of length on the roster. Deandre Ayton, who last played for the Portland Trail Blazers, was perhaps their biggest signing to pair with Luka Doncic and LeBron James.

Ayton and Doncic were drafted in 2018. The former was the No. 1 pick by the Phoenix Suns, while Doncic was picked No. 3 by the Atlanta Hawks before he was traded to the Dallas Mavericks the same night.

Doncic has seemingly shed a lot of weight during the offseason and looks transformed as he gears up for next season. Last season, he received a lot of flak for being out of shape. With his new teammate's refreshed look, Ayton said he was glad to be on Doncic's team.

"Luka is a once-in-a-generation player and I’m happy to be his teammate," Ayton said via ESPN's Dave McMenamin. "Hearing about the kind of shape he’s been in, he’s super ripped and I’m finally glad to be on his side."

Before joining the Lakers for the 2025-26 season, Luka Doncic will represent the Slovenian team in the upcoming EuroBasket 2025.
