Luka Doncic has played two games for the Los Angeles Lakers after the blockbuster trade with the Dallas Mavericks. While he's only spent a short amount of time with the franchise, Doncic made it clear he is a big fan of the team's head coach (JJ Redick) when he met with the media (after Wednesday's 131-119 loss to the Utah Jazz).

With Knecht making his return for Los Angeles in a losing effort, Lakers' head coach JJ Redick was questioned about what he saw from the team's No. 17 overall pick in the 2024 NBA

Luka Doncic has averaged 15.0 points, 4.5 rebounds and 4.0 assists so far with the Lakers, but that is largely due to his limited playing time as JJ Redick and the Lakers ease him back to action.
