Luka Doncic played against the Dallas Mavericks for the first time since the team that drafted him traded him to the Los Angeles Lakers earlier this month. Dallas general manager Nico Harrison traveled to L.A. with the team to see the franchise player he shockingly traded.
Unlike in Dallas, the Los Angeles crowd was thrilled to see Harrison. Lakers fans chanted "Thank you, Nico!" as Doncic shot free throws in the first half. And why wouldn't they? He did the franchise a huge solid by giving them a Picasso.
The Lakers took an eight-point lead into halftime with Doncic registering 12 points, 12 rebounds, seven assists, two steals and two blocks. He did some absurd things while compiling those statistics, and took the opportunity to let the Mavericks know about it.
