When Luka Dončić took the floor on Feb. 10 for his return from injury, the Los Angeles Lakers’ fanbase felt a rush of excitement. After missing six weeks of action due to his calf injury, Dončić took the court with his new team for the very first time alongside All-Star teammate LeBron James.

The Lakers formally welcomed Dončić on Tuesday, less than three days after they traded Anthony Davis and Max Christie in a three-team deal for the Slovenian scorer who won his first scoring title last season before leading the Mavs to the NBA Finals. Dončić is a five-time All-NBA selection and a five-time All-Star.

The Los Angeles Lakers sent a shockwave through the entire sports world with a blockbuster 3-team trade for superstar Luka Dončić ahead of Thursday’s trade deadline. The trade sends shock waves throughout the NBA with two of the league's top players changing teams.
