Luka Doncic is officially a member of the Los Angeles Lakers, but when will he make his debut for his new team? In late December, Doncic went down with a calf strain in what we now know to have been his final game as a member of the Dallas Mavericks.

In an appearance on Monday's edition of NBA Today, ESPN's Marc Spears says that the 25-year-old—who has been out of the lineup since Christmas Day after suffering a calf injury against the Minnesota Timberwolves—is targeting next week to make his debut in purple and gold.

There is tons of excitement and intrigue in the air for the Los Angeles Lakers after they pulled off what is being considered a humongous heist by trading for 25-year-old generational superstar Luka Doncic on Saturday night.
