Friday night may have been just another game for the New Orleans Pelicans, but it was a must-win game for the Los Angeles Lakers. A statement that sounds surreal but is agreed upon by even Doncic himself.

The Lakers guard continues to show how good of a player he is and why the Lakers made the right decision to trade for him.

A slow-motion video of Los Angeles Lakers star Luka Doncic taking an elbow to the face during a game against the New Orleans Pelicans caught attention and sparked reactions.

The jersey superstar guard Luka Dončić wore during his second game as a member of the Los Angeles Lakers is reportedly expected to fetch six figures at auction. According to TMZ Sports, representatives from SCP Auctions have said bidding on the jersey is currently at $60,000, and it is believed the bidding will ultimately exceed $100,000.

After struggling in back-to-back games, Luka Doncic finished with 35 points and six rebounds in the Lakers' 124-108 win over the New Orleans Pelicans.

Video highlights of Los Angeles Lakers stars Luka Doncic, Austin Reaves and LeBron James catching fire against the New Orleans Pelicans.

Luka Doncic had 35 points, Austin Reaves added 30 and LeBron James had 27 in the Los Angeles Lakers' 124-108 victory over the New Orleans Pelicans on Friday night. Doncic struggled in a 123-116 loss to Golden State a night earlier,

Arguably the biggest culprit in that department was Luka Doncic. He shot 3-of-11 in the first half and went 6-of-17 overall while missing all six of his 3-point attempts. When he wasn't throwing up bricks from the outside, he was surrounded by multiple Warriors defenders once he made his way into the paint.

Doncic also shot 40.5% from 3-point range in March, which allowed him to set a new Lakers franchise record for the most 3-pointers made in a single month with 64. According to StatMuse, the previous team record for the most treys hit in a single month was held by D'Angelo Russell, who knocked down 51 of them in January 2024.
