Luka Doncic (Los Angeles Lakers)
Wednesday night (April 10)
Luka Doncic returned to Dallas for the first time since being traded and delivered a dominant 45-point performance, leading the Lakers to a 112-97 win and clinching a playoff berth.
Overcome with emotion after a tribute video, Doncic regained focus to shine against his former team. The home crowd honored him with cheers, while chants of “Fire Nico!” targeted the Mavericks’ GM who orchestrated the controversial trade.
