DALLAS — Luka Dončić will once again square off against his former team when the Los Angeles Lakers host the Dallas Mavericks this fall in Las Vegas.

The preseason matchup is taking place on Oct. 15 at the T-Mobile Arena.

This isn’t the first time Luka will face the Mavs as a Laker , but it is the first time he’ll do it under the bright lights of Sin City. And while the reunion may no longer carry the shock factor it once did, it still promises to be an emotional, high-energy matchup for fans of both franchises.

Since arriving in L.A., Dončić has continued his superstar trajectory, blending his trademark playmaking and flair with the Hollywood spotlight.

For Lakers fans, he’s already a worthy successor. However, for Mavs fans, it’s still a little painful.
