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.

In the short term, the Lakers' roster is probably worse and might need some additional bolstering. But the future looks bright in Hollywood.
