The 2024-25 NBA season will be remembered for its sheer number of trades and by the magnitude of the stars moved during the year, including Luka Dončić, Anthony Davis and Jimmy Butler. What's next after the trade deadline and All-Star break,

The Lakers and Timberwolves collide as Luka Dončić eyes history and LeBron James leads L.A.'s defensive resurgence.

LeBron James has been vocal about the challenges Luka Dončić has faced since joining the Los Angeles Lakers. After the blockbuster trade that sent Anthony Davis to the Dallas Mavericks and brought Dončić to L.

Dončić has his own history against the Clippers, a team he hasn't seen since he shut the door on an era last spring.

The pair spent just two years as teammates but it's clear a strong bond that goes "deeper than basketball" remains.

LUKA DONČIĆ AND THE LOS ANGELES LAKERS You cannot convince me that Luka Dončić didn't want this one, and not just the W.

People within the league continue to believe that Dallas made a grave mistake in dealing its young superstar. Tuesday's game showed why.

Everything before Tuesday’s game helped to build anticipation for Dončić’s star power in L.A., from a timely Jordan Brand ad to a new shoe.

Luka Dončić's first game against his former team featured his first triple double as a Laker. Dončić had 19 points, 15 rebounds and 12 assists, while LeBron James scored 27 points as LA held off Dallas in the fourth quarter.
