Luka Doncic finally made his highly-anticipated debut for the Los Angeles Lakers following his blockbuster acquisition from the Dallas Mavericks. The Lakers routed the Utah Jazz 132-113 for the sixth straight win. Luka Doncic was given a warm reception from the franchise and all the fans received a yellow Lakers Doncic jersey with No. 77 on the back.

The former Mavericks star was listed as questionable against the Utah Jazz on the injury report and was later upgraded to probable. JJ Redick put him on a minutes restriction due to his first game after a calf injury, sustained on Christmas Day in the loss against the Minnesota Timberwolves.
