The Los Angeles Lakers and Dallas Mavericks shocked the NBA on the night of February 2 with the Luka Doncic trade, a blockbuster Saturday night deal that was viewed as one of the most stunning moves in the history of pro sports. Two months later, Doncic is finally returning to Dallas.
Doncic, age 26, stayed professional after being blindsided by the trade that sent him to Los Angeles after he had established his roots in Dallas. Even amid NBA rumors leaked by the Mavericks regarding DOncic’s weight and commitment to the game, the All-Star guard only said nice things publicly about his former team.

However, fans and Doncic’s new teammates know that he’s been waiting for an opportunity for revenge against the front office that blindsided him and seemingly tried to tarnish his reputation after the deal. He’s getting it on Wednesday night when the Mavericks host the Lakers at the American Airlines Center.
