Luka Doncic Buys Out Parking Lot, Offers Free Bike Rides Before Lakers Opener

Luka Doncic covered one entire parking lot outside Crypto.com Arena and teamed with Metro Bike Share to offer free rides across Los Angeles before Wednesday's Lakers season opener against Golden State.
The fan giveaway came before Doncic's first regular-season game as the clear centerpiece of the post-LeBron Lakers, signaling an early push to build goodwill in Los Angeles.
The gesture eases one of the biggest game-night costs downtown, where parking can run about $50, though fans still face arena prices such as roughly $20 for a draft beer and $10 for a soda.
Doncic enters the season after a hamstring injury cut short his 2025-26 campaign, with expectations centered less on promotions than on leading the 17-time champions toward banner No. 18.
