Dallas Mavericks fans made their feelings known throughout Luka Donsic’s first game as a Los Angeles Laker.
The Los Angeles Lakers have taken the Dallas Mavericks down. It was an emotional night for Luka Donsic. He returned to Dallas much after being traded.
Despite having snuck out Nico Harrison, Luka was hoping for emotional events on her return home. And he was right, so Don Sic was shed tears by the tribute video that the Mavericks played for him.
But he didn’t let it stop him from having a great night. The Slovenian superstar dropped an astonishing 45-point performance to help the Lakers get the win.
Donsic was now in enemy territory, but still had love from his fans. And Nico Harrison was given the exact opposite treatment.

After the Lakers beat the Mavericks, Luka Donsic sent a simple message to the Mavericks fanbase. While he loves time with them, he believes that both sides need to move on.
“I love these fans. I love this city, but it’s time to move on.”
These words are stinging violently for Mavericks fans. In particular, consider how they supported Luka, despite being opposing players.
In fact, at some points in the evening, fans infiltrated the chant of “Firenico” and asked for GM’s job to trade Don Sic.
To make matters worse, the Mavericks chased Nico Harrison again after giving Don Sic a standing ovation along with the chant of “Lucas.”

Luka Donsic loved her time with the Mavericks. But that part of his career has ended, whether he wanted it or not.
It’s right for him to focus on the future. Plus, he loves the team, but the front office didn’t treat him well. Donsic admitted that he felt downplayed as the Mavericks front office gave a negative story about him.
Luka Doncic is incredible for the Lakers. In fact, he brought the same energy to their team that he had with the Mavericks.
Zack Lowe recently pointed out how Doncic, JJ Redick and Lakers emulated the 2024 Mavericks against OKC Thunder. If they keep doing so, they can beat OKC in the playoffs and push the title.
