The new Lakers superstar was greeted by a raucous crowd in the emphatic win. 

New Lakers frontman Luka Doncic made his debut in Los Angeles on Monday night in a game where the Lakers steamrolled over the Utah Jazz. The 25 year old was making his first NBA appearance since late December after suffering a left calf strain, keeping him out of basketball action for almost two months. Although he was on a minutes restriction, the new Lakers guard managed 14 points, 5 assists and 5 rebounds in only 24 minutes of play as he begins to feel his way back into his usual motion. He left the court in the first quarter to receive treatment on his calf, with the Lakers continuing to be cautious with his injury to ensure the recurring issue has fully healed. Despite this, he played in the second and third quarters of the game, showcasing his instant connection with Lebron James, giving the LA fans a glimpse of what’s to come when he is fully back up to speed.
