LOS ANGELES \u2014 Luka Doncic scored 14 points in limited playing time during his debut with the Lakers on Monday night, joining their starting lineup alongside LeBron James and immediately getting into the flow during Los Angeles\u2019 132-113 victory over the Utah Jazz.<\/p>\n
Doncic got multiple standing ovations from a Los Angeles crowd wearing thousands of gold T-shirts with his name and No. 77. <\/p>\n
He scored 11 points while the Lakers streaked out to a 25-point halftime lead, and he sat down for good with 3:07 left in the third quarter with the Lakers far ahead in their sixth consecutive victory.<\/p>\n
The Slovenian superstar\u2019s first bucket was a 3-pointer in the opening minutes on his second shot for the Lakers. Doncic finished with five rebounds and four assists \u2014 none prettier than a three-quarter-court strike to James for a layup late in the first half.<\/p>\n
The game was Doncic\u2019s first in nearly seven weeks since he strained his left calf on Christmas with the Mavericks, who shocked the sports world by trading their 25-year-old centerpiece and NBA scoring champion. The grateful Lakers gave up Anthony Davis and Max Christie.<\/p>\n
After a full week to settle in and to return to full strength, Doncic joined James, Austin Reaves, Rui Hachimura and Jaxson Hayes as starters for the streaking Lakers, who had won 11 of 13 even before adding a five-time All-NBA selection to their lineup.<\/p>\n
Doncic played only 23 minutes as the Lakers bring him back deliberately from his injury. <\/p>\n
His legs aren\u2019t quite there yet \u2014 he went 1 for 7 on 3-point attempts in his debut \u2014 but his playmaking immediately meshed with his new teammates.<\/p>\n
Coach JJ Redick, who played alongside Doncic for 13 games in 2021 with the Dallas Mavericks, was eager to see what Doncic would do in his much-hyped debut with his new team.<\/p>\n
\u201cExcitement level is high,\u201d Redick said. \u201cI don\u2019t think anything in our approach or game plan for Utah changes. It is always a challenge in-season to integrate, and we have to be able to give each other patience for that.\u201d<\/p>\n
Doncic didn\u2019t disappoint: His first touch was an alley-oop assist to Hayes, and he hit his 3-pointer moments later. He was serenaded with \u201cLuka! Luka!\u201d chants at the first dead ball, and several times thereafter.<\/p>\n
That crowd included Dirk Nowitzki, who overlapped with Doncic for one season in Dallas and served as his mentor. <\/p>\n
Doncic appeared to be the natural heir to the German Hall of Famer\u2019s incredible run in Dallas \u2014 until current Mavericks general manager Nico Harrison decided otherwise.<\/p>\n
Doncic played the first 6:56 before checking out alongside James \u2014 likely a coincidence due to Doncic\u2019s minutes restriction while he returns to full strength. <\/p>\n
The Lakers are expected to have one of their superstars on the floor at nearly all times when Doncic is up to speed.<\/p>\n
\u201cFeel like it\u2019s best right now to ease Luka back in to playing NBA action,\u201d Redick said. \u201cI think if it was up to Luka, he would probably play 48 minutes, but we\u2019re thinking long-term and we want to be safe.\u201d<\/p>\n
Doncic returned with about eight minutes left in the first half, and he helped the Lakers on their way to a big lead with several key plays.<\/p>\n
Everybody received a Doncic T-shirt to mark the occasion at the Lakers\u2019 downtown arena \u2014 including James, who warmed up before the game in the gold No. 77 shirt.<\/p>\n
Doncic was followed by dozens of cameras as he warmed up for about 10 minutes before the game, and the Lakers\u2019 arena played the Serbian music he favors for pregame workouts. <\/p>\n
The Lakers introduced him last before the game, giving him the spot normally reserved for James, which led to another standing ovation.<\/p>\n
James returned from a one-game injury absence Monday when the Lakers began a home-and-home set with the Jazz heading into the All-Star break.<\/p>\n
\u201cI don\u2019t think any of us know exactly what it\u2019ll look like,\u201d Utah coach Will Hardy said. \u201cI assume it\u2019ll look good. (Doncic and James) are two of the best thinkers, problem-solvers that we\u2019ve ever seen. So yeah, I think preparing for it is a little weird. \u2026 But I don\u2019t see any world where those two playing together isn\u2019t a good thing. Like I said, their processing speed mentally is incredible, and so I\u2019m sure they\u2019ll figure it out.\u201d<\/p>\n
Doncic has watched three straight Lakers victories from their bench since arriving in Los Angeles a week ago. <\/p>\n
Reaves scored a career-high 45 points to lead the Lakers past Indiana 124-117 on Saturday without Doncic or James, who sat out to rest his sore ankle.<\/p>\n
Doncic began Monday by donating $500,000 to fire recovery efforts in his new community, making an immediate impression with his pledge to help with the damage caused by the rampant wildfires that devastated parts of Southern California last month \u2014 including Pacific Palisades, where Redick\u2019s home was lost.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt\u2019s been so sad to see and learn more about the damage from the wildfires as I landed in LA,\u201d Doncic wrote on his Luka Doncic Foundation\u2019s social media channels. \u201cI can\u2019t believe it, and I feel for all the kids who lost their homes, schools and the places where they used to play with their friends. Today, my foundation is donating $500,000 to immediate recovery efforts. I am also committed to helping rebuild courts, playgrounds and fields that were destroyed, because every kid needs a safe place to play.<\/p>\n
\u201cTo everyone affected by these fires: we\u2019re here to help, now and for the long haul.\u201d<\/p>\n
Doncic signed his note: \u201cYour new neighbor.\u201d<\/p>\n
Doncic\u2019s initial donation is being made to the Community Foundation Wildfire Recovery Fund. He also plans to donate \u201csignificant additional funding over the next two years\u201d with a focus on rebuilding children\u2019s play spaces, according to a spokesperson.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
