Luka Doncic made his return to Dallas on Wenesday night as the Mavericks hosted the Los Angeles Lakers for the first time since the trade. It was an emotional night for Doncic who had spent the first six-plus seasons of his NBA career in Dallas.
While the home crowd cheered for him, Doncic went off for 14 points in the first quarter hitting three of his first four three-pointers including a vintage step-back over Anthony Davis. It was a fitting moment as the two will forever be connected as the superstar the Mavericks traded away and older often-injured superstar they got in return.
