Luka Dončić Makes Lakers Debut in Star-Studded Game Following Blockbuster Trade

The 25-year-old NBA star scored 14 points in his first appearance for Los Angeles, with Dirk Nowitzki and Hollywood celebrities in attendance.

Luka Dončić debuted for the Los Angeles Lakers in a dominant 132–113 victory over the Utah Jazz after being traded from the Dallas Mavericks in a major deal.
Dirk Nowitzki, Dončić's former teammate and mentor, attended the game to support him, calling it a significant moment for their friendship.
Dončić, who had not played since Christmas due to injury, contributed 14 points, five rebounds, and four assists in 23 minutes of play but struggled from the three-point line.
The Crypto.com Arena celebrated Dončić's arrival with yellow jerseys on every seat and a crowd that included stars like Adele, Floyd Mayweather Jr., and Will Ferrell.
Hours before the game, Dončić pledged $500,000 through his foundation to aid recovery efforts following recent devastating wildfires in Los Angeles.
