Luka Dončić returned to Dallas as a member of the Lakers for the second time on Saturday night. It’s still a surreal sight to watch the superstar battle against the Mavericks adorned in purple and gold. Last night’s game showed it’s still a bit weird for Dončić, too— he admitted he instinctively began to walk to the Dallas locker room at halftime of the 116-110 Los Angeles win.
Dončić had 33 points and 11 assists in the victory, but garnered the most praise for an extremely cool pregame surprise he gave a group of Mavericks fans. During the game ESPN revealed Dončić surprised over 20 Dallas fans by buying them a suite for the game, as well as jerseys and shoes. Additionally he met up with the group pregame. The fans were chosen because Dončić appreciated their support of him online; he had never met them before.
