Luka Doncic is off to a historic start to his first full season with the Los Angeles Lakers. The five-time NBA All-Star scored 43 points in Tuesday's opener against the Golden State Warriors and 49 points in Friday's win over the Minnesota Timberwolves,

Luka Dončić had a chance to reach 50 points before he was removed during Friday's 128-110 win over the Minnesota Timberwolves, as head coach JJ Redick left him in the game late in the fourth quarter on 48 points.

Dončić became the first player in NBA history to begin the season with consecutive 40-point, 10-rebound and 5-assist games.

The number those games have in common is zero, which is how many wins the Mavericks have this season. The entire theory of their team is based on Harrison's "defense wins championships" philosophy. Their starting lineup is enormous,

“Luka is the 1st player in Lakers history to start a season with two consecutive 40-point games and only the 4th player in league history to do so (Anthony Davis, Michael Jordan and Wilt Chamberlain are the others),” Lakers insider Dave McMenamin posted.

There's no indication that Nico Harrison's status as Dallas Mavericks general manager is in jeopardy right now, but team doesn't appear to be in a rush to extend his deal in the aftermath of the Luka Dončić trade.

Luka Dončić is set to embark on his first full season with the Los Angeles Lakers. And he’s set to do it with a slimmed-down physique.

Following his rough 10-point, six-rebound, four-turnover debut with the franchise on Tuesday night in a 119-109 loss to the Golden State Warriors, Los Angeles' key summer signing and new starting center Deandre Ayton was lambasted by Lakers fans and media members, alike.
