Lakers vs Mavericks
Lakers' Luka Doncic wipes away tears, then whips Mavs in return
DALLAS -- Tears welled in Luka Doncic's eyes and he buried his head in a towel Wednesday night, back in the building he called his NBA home for 6½ seasons before the trade that turned his world upside down.
Returning to play the Mavericks for the first time as a member of the Los Angeles Lakers, Doncic was honored by his former franchise with a lengthy tribute video during player introductions. As the videoboard flashed an amazing array of basketball highlights that showed why he became one of the most beloved figures in Dallas sports history, Doncic struggled to keep it together.
