Los Angeles, CA— Luka Doncic opened the Los Angeles Lakers’ NBA season with two high-scoring performances that lifted the team to early wins at home.
The Slovenian guard posted 43 points in the season opener against the Golden State Warriors, then delivered 49 points in a follow-up game against the Minnesota Timberwolves.
The consecutive 40-plus outputs rank among the most dominant opening stretches in league history for the All-NBA star.
The Lakers have leaned heavily on Doncic’s production during these games, translating his scoring surges into victories to start the campaign.
