Luka’s stats in the 2022-23 NBA Season
Doncic has been nothing short of supreme in the 2022-23 season. Averaging a stunning 33 points, 8.9 rebounds, and 8.4 assists a game, he is firmly on the MVP ladder.
However, there are bigger things on his mind. Luka has evidently pushed for the Mavericks to sign reinforcements before the February 9th trade deadline.
