Doncic drops 25 on debut, rust barely visible
Luka Doncic’s long-awaited Lakers debut Tuesday saw him score 25 points with seven rebounds and four assists in 22 minutes against the Suns. Sure, there were five turnovers, but that’s like forgetting your keys—annoying, not tragic.
After leading Slovenia to the EuroBasket 2025 quarterfinals, Luka said he felt better than expected: ‘I was just very happy to be out there again.’ His joy lit up the roster, as the Lakers ease him in before the regular season.
