Luka Doncic is already enjoying life as LeBron James's teammate. The Los Angeles Lakers played their crosstown rival in the Los Angeles Clippers Tuesday night. It was the first time the Lakers hit the court since they acquired Doncic from the Dallas Mavericks in the most shocking trade in NBA history.
Although Doncic remained sidelined with a calf injury, he threw on his new colors and was there to cheer on his new team from the bench. If the trade still didn't feel real yet, seeing him in the purple and gold helped materialize the NBA's new reality: Doncic is a Laker, as weird as that still sounds.
