Luka Dončić made a notable preseason debut with the Lakers, contributing 25 points, seven rebounds, and four assists in a 113-104 defeat against the Suns. Dončić, alongside Austin Reaves, led the Lakers’ scoring despite only playing 22 minutes. Following his impressive EuroBasket performance, Dončić seems poised for a strong start to the season, which could prove crucial for the Lakers as they face the prospect of playing without LeBron James for an extended period.
