NBA Star Nikola Jokic Reacts To Luka Doncic Lakers-Mavs Trade

After the game, Jokic was asked about the blockbuster trade that sent Luka Doncic to the Los Angeles Lakers.

Jokic: "I texted him... I think he didn't expect it of course... It's a big move, it's a business, I think nobody expected it. Especially him. I think nobodies safe in the league it seems like, but I think he's gonna do a good job. I think he's the player for the big scene. Even though I thought in Dallas he had something special going."

Jokic and Doncic are notably good friends.

Doncic and the Lakers will visit the Nuggets on February 22 in Denver.

Over 17 matchups against each other, Jokic has the 9-8 advantage.
