Lakers Send Luka Doncic, LeBron James Message After NBA Announcement

The post also featured a brief clip showing recent moments from the trio, including deep threes, passing sequences and a few quotes from head coach JJ Redick and Lakers player Jake LaRavia.

The Lakers acquired Doncic in a three-team trade in February that sent Anthony Davis to Dallas, but Doncic failed to make the All-Star Game for the first time since his rookie year with the Mavericks.

James has been named an All-Star every season since 2004-05, though injuries have limited him to nine games, putting his 21-year streak in serious jeopardy, according to ESPN.

Reaves, meanwhile, is having a true breakout season with the Lakers this year, posting career-best averages across the board with 27.8 points, 5.6 rebounds and 6.7 assists per game.

All-Star voting rules allow fans to account for half of the starter tally, with players and media splitting the other half. Triple-vote days will occur on Sunday, Dec. 25, Dec. 30, Jan. 7 and Jan. 14.

The NBA removed positional designations this season, allowing voters to simply select five players per conference.

Also new this season is the fact that the All-Star Game will feature three teams — two USA and one representing the world — as the NBA plans to build three eight-player squads that will compete in a round-robin format with a championship game between the two best.

The Lakers next visit the Utah Jazz on Thursday at 9 p.m. ET.
