It still doesn't seem real that the Dallas Mavericks traded away the heart of their franchise, Luka Doncic, to the Los Angeles Lakers. However, the new normal is here, and for the time being, Doncic will look to help LeBron James lead the Lakers to another NBA title.

The Slovenian superstar played in both of the Lakers’ final two games before the All-Star break, but he logged only 47 total minutes while the Lakers eased him back into competition. Doncic then got several days of recovery while the rest of the NBA’s top players convened in San Francisco for the All-Star Game.
