The highly anticipated showdown between the Los Angeles Lakers and Dallas Mavericks is set for Tuesday, Feb. 25, with fans expecting fireworks on the court. It’s significant in multiple ways. Luka Dončić will square off against his former team after he was dispensed from the Mavs roster following a monumental trade that also sent Lakers veteran Anthony Davis to Jason Kidd’s side.

There is some irony to this, as the Mavericks traded away Luka Doncic because of injury and conditioning concerns, and Anthony Davis, the key return of the Doncic trade, goes down with an injury in his first game with the team. It's brutal to see Davis go down, especially with how well he was playing in this game.
