Luka Doncic makes emotional claim ahead of Lakers-Mavericks game that Anthony Davis dismissed

What Luka Doncic thinks of playing against the Dallas Mavericks

Last season, Doncic was in tears when he faced the Mavericks. While Luka has settled in with the Lakers, it is still expected to be an emotional game for him.

Speaking of the matchup, Doncic shared his honest opinion with ESPN’s Dave McMenamin.

“I mean, it’s obviously going to be something. Obviously I’m going to feel something every game I play against them. I am kind of starting a new chapter here,” Doncic said.

He added: “It’s the preseason, but it’s always going to be something. I don’t know how it will go.”

Considering Doncic gave seven years of his NBA career to the Mavericks, it’s only natural for him to feel emotional when facing off against his former team.

The Mavs are still facing the consequences of trading Doncic, but both sides are slowly moving on.

Anthony Davis had an opposite reaction to facing the LA Lakers

Aside from Doncic, one would assume that the Lakers vs. Mavericks game would be special for Anthony Davis.

Despite winning the only ring of his career with the Lakers, Davis has already moved on. The Unibrow is treating the matchup as any other preseason game.

To be honest, it’s not a surprise as Davis recently revealed he was unhappy with the Lakers.

At the end of the day, it will be interesting to see who will have a better stat line between Doncic and Davis, even if it’s just the preseason.
