Luka Doncic hosted the Los Angeles Lakers in his native Slovenia, turning a team trip abroad into an opportunity to connect off the court and give back to the local community.

The Lakers spent time at the Ljubljana Maternity Hospital and a neighboring pediatric clinic, greeting mothers with newborn babies and visiting children undergoing treatment.

Following the hospital stop, forward Jarred Vanderbilt reflected on the experience in a conversation with local media. As reported by BasketNews, a Slovenian reporter asked Vanderbilt if he would ever return to the country. Vanderbilt expressed his desire to make another trip, playfully teasing that he might even return with a Slovenian passport in hand.
