Luka Doncic has not started Hollywood yet.
The Lakers played a sixth minute in their first two games with the team, so they aim to slowly take their precious new superstars along as they recover from calf tension.
Donsic played 24 minutes in the hit victory in his debut and 23 minutes in a 23-minute loss on Wednesday.
“Yes, he was completely ill and we could see him gas early,” Ryen Russillo said on the podcast that Tim Legler of ESPN, analyst for Doncic’s Lakers debut on Monday. He was talking about it.
While in Dallas this season, Donsic averaged 35.7 minutes, 28.1 points, 7.8 assists and 8.1 rebounds per game, reaching 35.4% from the floor to 35.4%.
He didn’t look like the MVP Caliber self in two games he plays next to his new running mate LeBron James.
Doncic averages 15 points, 4.0 assists and 4.5 rebounds while shooting 26.7% from the 3-point range and 40.7% from the floor.
ESPN’s Mavericks reporter Tim MacMahon pointed out that Doncic has risen nine times in his Lakers debut.
It’s unfair to Donsic, considering he hasn’t played for nearly two months, is on a new offense and has to fit into one of the league’s greatest players of all time.
There is still plenty of time to prove those who made him wrong.
When I ask the Dallas Mavericks (owner Patrick Dumont or general manager Nico Harrison), Don Chick is in poor health and the general public who expected him when he enters the league will not fulfill his promise.
Donsic, who is recovering from the calf tension he sustained on Christmas Day, reportedly weighs 270 pounds at some point this season, with Mavericks executives in last season’s NBA Finals After carrying the team he was well versed in his health.
