The Dallas Mavericks deciding to trade Luka Doncic will likely go down as the most shocking trade in NBA history. And of all teams, they had to send him to the Los Angeles Lakers.

The Los Angeles Lakers and their fans are anxiously awaiting Luka Doncic's debut with the Purple and Gold following Saturday night's shocking trade. He has been out since suffering a calf injury on Christmas Day, but he is very close to being ready to return.

Luka Dončić is targeting Monday against Utah for his Lakers debut, @TheSteinLine has learned. He returned to 5-on-5 play in practice this week and is said to be progressing well in his ramp up from his left calf strain on Christmas.
