Luka Doncic News: Leads team with 28 points

Doncic accumulated 28 points (7-18 FG, 2-8 3Pt, 12-15 FT), seven rebounds, nine assists and one steal across 40 minutes during Wednesday's 103-96 loss to Minnesota in Game 5 of the first round of the Western Conference playoffs.

Although Doncic logged a great stat line, it wasn't enough to keep the Lakers' playoff hopes alive. Doncic's addition was a gamble that expected to reap dividends in the postseason, but the team will now enter a new chapter where LeBron James' future is in question, leaving Doncic as the future face of the team. The All-Star averaged 30.2 points, 7.0 rebounds and 5.8 assists over the five-game series.
