The Los Angeles Lakers faced a tough defeat on Tuesday night, losing 136-120 to the Oklahoma City Thunder, a match that saw Luka Dončić receiving an ejection. This loss adds to the difficulties of their current road trip as they gear up for a quick next game.
The Lakers’ upcoming challenge takes them to Texas, where they will go up against Dončić’s former team, the Dallas Mavericks, on Wednesday. After the game, Dončić shared his thoughts about returning to Dallas.
“I have no idea what to expect. I honestly don’t know how I’ll feel. I’m excited to go back to Dallas — for sure, seeing my fans, my teammates, and my former teammates will be very emotional for me,” Dončić expressed, according to Dave McMenamin.
During his six and a half seasons with the Mavericks, Dončić received five All-Star selections and five All-NBA honors, and he played a pivotal role in leading the team to its first NBA Finals since their championship run in 2011.
He transitioned to the Lakers through a historic trade that involved Anthony Davis moving to Dallas.
