Deandre Ayton Los Angeles Lakers 2025-2026 NBA Tip-Off Game Worn Icon Edition Jersey | Lakers Debut

This home ‘Icon Edition’ jersey was worn in the 1st half by Deandre Ayton on October 21, 2025 during the NBA Tip-Off, when the Los Angeles Lakers played the Golden State Warriors. 

Ayton finished with 10 points, 6 rebounds, and 1 block. The Lakers lost to the Warriors 119-109.

DeAndre Ayton caught the attention of fans and scouts during his lone season at the University of Arizona. Selected as the first overall pick in the 2018 NBA Draft by the Phoenix Suns, Ayton quickly made his mark as a formidable center. His nickname 'DominAyton' speaks to his commanding style of play, showcasing a blend of physicality and skill. In his rookie season in 2018-2019, Ayton lived up to the expectations, earning a spot on the NBA All-Rookie first team. He played a key role in turning around the Phoenix Suns organization and helped lead them to an NBA Finals appearance during the 2020-2021 season against the Milwaukee Bucks. 

Ayton was traded to the Portland Trail Blazers before the 2023-24 season, becoming one of the key pieces in their rebuilding process. Ayton later signed with the Los Angeles Lakers at the start of the 2025-26 season, filling the need for a starting center alongside Lebron James and Luka Dončić. At the time of cataloging, he has career averages of 15.8 points per game, 10.1 rebounds per game, and 1.5 assists per game.
