LeBron James had a simple message for Luka Doncic ahead of his first game with the Lakers.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Right before the Lakers faced the Jazz on Monday night at Crypto.com Arena and Doncic \u2013 Los Angeles\u2019 newest superstar \u2013 made his debut with his new team, James huddled up his teammates and delivered the short missive.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Doncic\u2019s Lakers debut was a highly anticipated affair following a blockbuster trade that shook the NBA world to its core when the Mavericks shipped the star to Los Angeles in a middle-of-the-night trade that sent Anthony Davis to Dallas.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The deal has created unrest among Mavericks fans and it seems even one of the organization\u2019s most important players in its history was caught off guard by the trade.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Dirk Nowitzki, a Mavs legend and Hall of Famer, was shocked when his close friend was traded to Los Angeles and Nowitzki even made the trip to Hollywood to see Doncic in his Lakers debut.\u00a0<\/p>\n
He was seated near the court\u00a0<\/p>\n
Doncic and Nowitzki overlapped as teammates in Dallas for Nowitzki\u2019s final season in the NBA and essentially took over as the face of the franchise once the Mavs great retired.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Nowitzki addressed his decision to travel to Los Angeles on social media on Monday ahead of the game.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cI will always be a Mav for life, but had to come support my guy 77 @luka7doncic in the first game of his new chapter!\u201d Nowitzki wrote on X.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Doncic\u2019s first basket in the purple and gold came with 8:04 on the clock in the first quarter when he knocked down a step-back 3-pointer to put the Lakers up 14-10.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The Crypto.com Arena crowd immediately erupted when the ball went through the hoop.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
