How many points did Luka Doncic score tonight in L.A. Lakers debut vs. Utah Jazz?

LOS ANGELES — Luka Dončić made his debut for the Los Angeles Lakers, just one week after officially joining the franchise.

Dončić added to the Lakers' scoring attack and contributed in the 132-113 victory over the Utah Jazz on Monday night. He was in the starting lineup alongside LeBron James, Austin Reaves, Rui Hachimura and Jaxon Hayes but was on a minute restriction as he continues to work his way back from a calf injury he suffered during a Christmas Day game.

While Dončić will have some positives he can take away from his first outing of 2025, he will have to bounce back from a poor outing from beyond the arc.

Los Angeles (32-19) acquired Dončić as part of a blockbuster trade that sent Anthony Davis to the Dallas Mavericks, but the team was on the upswing even before the deal. The Lakers have now won six games in a row and 10 of their last 11 games.

Here’s how Dončić performed in his Lakers debut Monday night vs. the Jazz:
