As for when Luka Doncic will officially wear the Lakers jersey in a game, there are expectations that he could suit up by Saturday against the Indiana Pacers or on Monday against the Utah Jazz. Regardless of when he makes his Lakers debut, though, L.A. fans sure look ecstatic to have him on their side.

Doncic has spoken a bit since the shocking Saturday night trade, but the Lakers posted a short video clip of him sharing a direct message to Lakers fans. He was still at the airport while filming the video, so he was newly in Los Angeles. He kept his message brief.

The stunning decision by the Dallas Mavericks to trade Luka Doncic to the Los Angeles Lakers for Anthony Davis, took everybody by surprise. Mavericks fans all over have been protesting, either in front of the arena or on social media as they come to terms with the loss of a franchise superstar.
