Luka Doncic is joining the Los Angeles Lakers, where he reunites with former teammate Dorian Finney-Smith, recently acquired from the Brooklyn Nets. Their past together as teammates in Dallas created a strong bond, and Doncic expressed high excitement for the reunion. The Lakers made a significant trade, offloading Anthony Davis and others to bring Doncic onboard. Both players have maintained a playful rapport, as evidenced by social media interactions referencing their jersey numbers. Doncic's anticipated debut for the Lakers is just around the corner, as he is reportedly set to face the Indiana Pacers soon.
That's my guy, man. That's my guy. We basically, I feel like we started playing basketball together in Dallas. We grew up as players together. So, I'm really excited.
Finney-Smith posted a collage of pictures of himself in action for Los Angeles on Jan. 4, wearing No. 17. Doncic... commented: 'Why didn't you get 77?'.
Doncic said he misses Finney-Smith 'so much' and that at some point, they will 'play again for sure.' That day will come sooner rather than later.
The Lakers acquired Doncic in a blockbuster trade last Sunday that involved Anthony Davis, Max Christie and a first-round pick heading to the Mavericks.
