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.

Dončić was traded to the Lakers on Saturday in exchange for several players and draft picks, most notably big man Anthony Davis, who helped the Purple and Gold win the 2020 NBA Championship.

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.
