LOS ANGELES -- Luka Doncic scored 14 points in limited playing time during his debut with the Lakers on Monday night, joining their starting lineup alongside LeBron James and immediately getting into the flow during Los Angeles' 132-113 victory over the Utah Jazz.
Doncic got multiple standing ovations from a Los Angeles crowd wearing thousands of gold T-shirts with his name and No. 77 -- including James, who warmed up before the game in the same shirt that was distributed to fans.
"I didn't play in a long time ... all the Luka jerseys, it was just a surreal feeling," Doncic said.
