In Doncic’s first game with Los Angeles, the star pair flashed immediate chemistry that showed how their unexpected partnership can work.

Luka Doncic made his debut for the Los Angeles Lakers last night, his first game since the shocking trade before the trade deadline that sent Anthony Davis to the Dallas Mavericks. It was also his first game since leaving on Christmas Day against the Minnesota Timberwolves, a period of about six weeks off for the Slovenian.

Luka Doncic finishes with 14 points, five rebounds and four assists in his Lakers debut, helping L.A. pick up its sixth consecutive win in a blowout over Utah.
