Through two games with the Lakers, Dončić is averaging 15.0 points, 4.5 rebounds and 4.0 assists on 40.7/26.7/50.0 shooting splits in 23.5 minutes. He’s on a minutes restriction — up to 30 minutes, though both games he played in were blowouts — so his per-36 averages are more in line with his career marks: 23.0 points, 6.9 rebounds and 6.1 assists.

The Los Angeles Lakers need to ensure Luka Doncic wants to stay on the Los Angeles Lakers without the incentive of a supermax contract.
