After missing one game due to the birth of his daughter, Gabriela, Luka Doncic has been on fire, scoring over 30 points in eight games. In the five games since becoming a father, he has averaged 35.2 points, 8.8 rebounds, and 12.4 assists, leading the Dallas Mavericks to four consecutive wins. Despite playing over 40 minutes in four of those games, he joked about feeling old after a lower back contusion. Doncic is currently the NBA’s second-leading scorer and fourth-best assist man, but he remains focused on the team’s success. In a recent game against the Lakers, he had a terrifying duel with LeBron James and took home an autographed jersey from the NBA’s all-time leading scorer. Doncic’s talent and passing ability make him a difficult opponent, as noted by Lakers point guard Austin Reaves. Doncic’s teammate, Dante Exum, also praised his foresight and trust, especially since becoming a father.
