It was weird to see Luka Doncic in purple and gold in his Lakers debut, so lets see how the NBA internet is reacting.
You could see the LeBron x Luka connection almost straight away, which is definitely a sign of exciting thing to come.
Doncic recorded:
-14 Points
-5 Rebounds
-4 Assists
-5/14 FGM
-1/7 3PM
-24 Minutes
Taking it away from Luka just a moment, after the failed trade for Mark Williams, Jaxson Hayes stepped up in a big way for the Lakers. He was feeding off Doncic and LeBron and finished the night with 12 PTS, 2 REB, 2 AST, 3 STL, and 6-6 FG in 23 minutes.
The great man Dirk Nowitzki was even in attendance, which is a huge deal considering he really only goes to Dallas games.
One fan said on X, Dirk attending Lukas debut in LA (especially while the Mavs play a home game) is about as loud of a statement without words that you can make from him.
The best reactions are below:
I will always be a Mav for life, but had to come support my guy 77 @luka7doncic in the first game of his new chapter!
