Los Angeles Lakers guard Luka Dončić recorded a triple-double in a 107-99 win against the Dallas Mavericks in his first game playing against his former team since being traded to the Lakers on Feb. 2. Dončić scored 19 points, had 12 assists, and collected 15 rebounds in the victory. Despite facing constant double teams from the Mavericks, Dončić remained focused and contributed to the win. LeBron James led the Lakers in scoring with 27 points, while Kyrie Irving paced the Mavericks with 35 points. The Mavericks were missing key players, including Anthony Davis, who was acquired in the Dončić trade and has been out with a thigh injury since Feb. 8. After the game, Dončić expressed mixed emotions but acknowledged that closure would take time. This was Dončić’s fifth game with the Lakers, where he is averaging 19.0 points, 7.5 rebounds, and 5.8 assists per game. The Lakers are set to play the Mavericks in Dallas on April 9, giving Dončić another chance to face his former team. Despite a 3-2 record with the Lakers so far, Dončić is adjusting to his new team and focusing on improving with each game.
