The NBA landscape has been dramatically altered by the trade of Luka Doncic to the Los Angeles Lakers, sparking a frenzy of reactions across social media and beyond.
The blockbuster deal, which sent Anthony Davis to the Dallas Mavericks and brought Doncic to L.A., has already made waves in the market, with Doncic No. 77 jerseys flying off shelves and ticket prices soaring to unprecedented levels.
“Prices to tonight’s Lakers-[Utah] Jazz game have gone up 500 percent for Luka’s debut,” Legion Hoops wrote on X.

According to TickPick, get-in prices for the game at Crypto.com Arena have jumped from $43 to $193.
Doncic’s first appearance for the Lakers may be a moment that etches itself into NBA history.
The anticipation builds as Doncic prepares to step onto the court, with a quick turnaround rematch scheduled at Utah.
When healthy, Doncic has been nothing short of spectacular this season, putting up 28.1 points, 8.3 rebounds and 7.8 assists per game in 22 appearances.
His career scoring average of 28.7 points per game places him in elite company, ranking third all-time behind only Michael Jordan and Wilt Chamberlain.
The Jazz are all too familiar with Doncic’s brilliance. He’s consistently dominated them throughout his career, most notably during their 2022 playoff elimination by the Mavericks.
Now, that same game-changing talent is in Los Angeles, ready to begin a new chapter in Lakers history.
