Luka Doncic is not messing around this season. Much has been made about the Los Angeles Lakers star's body transformation and how it would translate to the court this season. It seems to have made a big impact, as Doncic has been on fire as of late.
Doncic returned to the Lakers on Friday as they took on the Memphis Grizzlies. Despite missing the last three games due to injury, Doncic wasted no time in getting back on his scoring ways. He dropped 44 points on the Grizzlies, becoming the first Laker since Kobe Bryant to average 45 points through his first three games, per Dave McMenamin.
