We detail the debut of Luka Doncic with the Los Angeles Lakers
First purple and gold game for the Slovenian after more than two months injured: madness at the Crypto
Luka Doncic debuted last night with Los Angeles Lakers in a comfortable victory against Utah Jazz. The Slovenian, who hadn't played since he got injured on Christmas Day, felt his inactivity, but still excited a crowded and supportive Crypto in his debut after his incredible trade from the Dallas Mavericks.
In the opening play of the match, LeBron James aimed to assert dominance and assisted for Jaxon Hayes to dunk, and on the second play, Luka didn't want to fall behind and perfectly set it up for the only healthy center of the Los Angeles team to hang on the rim. Magic had landed in LA.
For his first basket, we had to wait a bit longer. It came at the 4-minute mark with a classic step-back three-pointer. A slight smile from the Slovenian, and he carried on. As mentioned, it was evident that he had been out for two and a half months. He finished with 14 points (5 of 14 from the field and 1 of 7 from three-point range), 5 rebounds, and 4 assists.
Gradually, he will surely regain his rhythm, and the fact that he is not going to the All-Star game will certainly help him get in perfect shape for the remainder of the regular season.
