Luka Doncic’s big trade to the Lakers with Anthony Davis earlier this month shocked fans everywhere. Everyone was excited to see the 25-year-old point guard with the Lakers jersey.
And finally, he made his foot on the court in the recent game against the Utah Jazz. Most importantly, his debut lived up to all the excitement and didn’t disappoint anyone.
There’s no doubt that Luka Doncic had a strong debut for the Los Angeles Lakers, scoring 14 points in a short time during their 132-113 win over the Utah Jazz on Monday night.

He was unsure to play due to an injury concern. But since the Jazz are not as strong as the Lakers this season, the team decided to play him for only 24 minutes to ease him back after a recent calf strain. Even with limited time, Doncic’s passing and scoring helped the Lakers secure their sixth straight win.
Now, the Lakers have improved to a 32-19 record, and fans are happy with Doncic’s performance. However, one thing is certain—if Anthony Davis were still on the team, he would likely have scored close to 30 points or even more, given his scoring ability this season.
Luka Doncic’s debut in Lakers jersey leaves fans excited
The best part of Monday night’s game between the Lakers and Jazz was that fans didn’t miss Anthony Davis at all, even though he was a big scorer for the team. Instead, they were excited to see Luka Doncic in a Lakers jersey.
Even better, no fans were disappointed with Doncic joining the team. Instead, they cheered for him, saying he looked great in the purple and gold.
