Luka Doncic, now with the Los Angeles Lakers, faces his former team, the Dallas Mavericks, for the first time since a shocking trade just weeks ago. The Lakers gave up Anthony Davis and Max Christie to acquire the scoring champion, who was previously thought to be untouchable. Doncic's transition has been smooth, recently showcasing his talents with a 32-point performance against Denver. While Doncic is embracing this new chapter, Davis will not play due to injury, although he is traveling with the Mavericks, likely eliciting a warm response from Lakers fans.
