Los Angeles Lakers superstar Luka Doncic put in a brilliant performance in his preseason debut against the Phoenix Suns, scoring 25 points, even though his team lost 104-113 at the Footprint Center, United States.
According to the NBA website in Jakarta, Wednesday, Doncic, who had just returned to play after strengthening the Slovenian national team in the EuroBasket event, showed an impressive performance by scoring 25 points, seven rebounds , and four assists in just 22 minutes of play.
"We're still discussing with the coaching staff and Luka himself to determine the ideal number of minutes," said Lakers coach JJ Redick.
The 26-year-old had not previously played in pre-season matches as the coaching staff wanted to give him sufficient rest after his busy schedule with the national team.
In that match, he did not lose his best touch and several times amazed the audience with individual actions.
