Luka Dončić experienced a hectic 72 hours following his trade from the Dallas Mavericks to the Los Angeles Lakers. The transition included a private jet flight to Los Angeles, extensive physical examinations at UCLA, and tours of the Lakers' facilities. Lakers' management and staff worked quickly to prepare for Dončić's arrival, even getting his jersey ready with the correct lettering. The Lakers are optimistic that Dončić's calf strain, which had kept him sidelined, can be effectively managed, paving the way for his debut with the team.
Dončić boarded a private jet from Dallas to L.A. on Sunday evening -- along with Maxi Kleber, who was also part of the deal.
The Lakers scrambled to roll out the welcome wagon for the 25-year-old basketball prodigy.
Monday opened with an 8 a.m. appointment at UCLA, where Dončić underwent an extensive physical examination.
The left calf strain that had sidelined Dončić since Christmas Day could be managed.
