Los Angeles Lakers guard Luka Dončić recorded a triple-double in a 107-99 win against the Dallas Mavericks, his former team, in his first game against them since being traded to the Lakers. Dončić scored 19 points, had 12 assists, and collected 15 rebounds. Despite constant double teams from Dallas, Dončić led the Lakers to victory, with LeBron James also contributing 27 points. The Mavericks were missing key players like Anthony Davis, who was acquired in the trade and is currently injured. Dončić expressed mixed emotions about facing his former team but focused on the game, finishing with solid stats. After playing five games with the Lakers, Dončić is averaging 19.0 points, 7.5 rebounds, and 5.8 assists per game. The Lakers are set to face the Mavericks again later in the season, providing Dončić with another chance to play against his former team. He acknowledged that closure will take time but is happy the first emotional game is behind him.
