Brace yourselves, Mavericks fans - Luka Doncic and the Lakers are coming to the "Lone Star State." Wednesday night's game will mark Doncic's first trip to Dallas since the Mavs shockingly sent him to the Lakers before the 2025 trade deadline.

Luka Doncic entered the court with the Los Angeles Lakers for his first game back in Dallas to cheers in an arena where draped over every seat was a T-shirt with the Slovenian phrase for thank you for everything.

On Wednesday Luka Doncic will make his return to Dallas with the LA Lakers for the first time since the stunning Feb. 1 trade that sent the superstar west. It will be the second time Doncic has squared off against his former team since the trade, but it will be his first time coming back to American Airlines Center.
