Lakers vs. Mavericks live score, updates, highlights from Luka Doncic's first game against former team

As soon as initial reports that the Mavericks had agreed to trade superstar Luka Doncic to the Lakers were verified, fans immediately circled the first meeting between Dallas and Los Angeles on their calendars.

Just over three weeks later, that day is here.

On Tuesday, Kyrie Irving and the injury-riddled Mavs are in California to face a Lakers team coming off one of their biggest wins this season. On Saturday, Doncic broke out, finishing with 32 points, 10 rebounds and seven assists in a 23-point win over the Nuggets in a primetime showcase.

Dallas, on the other hand, is still without big men Anthony Davis, Daniel Gafford and Dereck Lively II, and is coming off a 24-point loss to Golden State in a Sunday afternoon matinee. The Mavericks are in the thick of the West’s playoff race with a 31-27 record but will be without their trio of bigs for at least two more weeks.

That said, most eyes will be on the Lakers’ trio of Doncic, LeBron James and Austin Reaves. The circumstances and reporting surrounding the trade lead many to believe that revenge will be on the mind of Doncic, who has found his groove and is learning to play off his co-stars.

The Sporting News will provide live score updates and highlights throughout Doncic’s first game against the team he spent the first six and a half seasons of his NBA career with. Follow the action below.
