Luka Doncic got a well-deserved rest for the final seven minutes of the LA Lakers’ game vs. the Oklahoma City Thunder on Tuesday. The rest was forced upon him by one of the game’s officials, but it was deserved nonetheless. Doncic was ejected from the Lakers’ game vs. OKC on Tuesday, the final game before he returns to Dallas for the first time for Wednesday’s showdown with the Mavericks.

The former Porto man has changed many lineups and offensive solutions, but so far none has convinced enough to be considered untouchable.

Luka Dončić always knew it was going to be an emotional return to Dallas when wearing his No 77 Los Angeles Lakers jersey in the place he called home the first five and a half seasons of his NBA career. Then the Mavericks showed a more than two-minute video tribute before he had even been introduced before his first game back Wednesday night, two months after being traded.
