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.

Luka Doncic's first three games with the Los Angeles Lakers haven't been amazing, and that's putting it kindly. He returned from a 22-game absence due to a calf strain before the All-Star Break and has not looked like the same Luka Doncic we became accustomed to seeing with the Dallas Mavericks.

In the weeks since the stunning deal rocked the NBA, supporters in Dallas have focused their anger on their own executives. And they aren’t ready to forgive them any time soon.
