Los Angeles Lakers captain LeBron James ensured that Luka Doncic got his moment during his debut with the team and ex-Dallas Mavericks star appreciated the kind gesture.

The Los Angeles Lakers will look to extend their four-game winning streak on Saturday when they host the Indiana Pacers. Luka Doncic will not make his debut with the Purple and Gold in this game, and Mark Williams, the 23-year-old ascendent center the team traded for on Wednesday, likely won't make his debut.

Welcome to the Luka Era in Los Angeles, which officially kicked off with a 132–113 win over the cellar-dwelling Jazz. Doncic’s final stat line: 14 points in 24 minutes. He collected five rebounds and four assists. Not bad for a player out since Christmas.
