Lakers, Mavericks Personnel Joining Luka Doncic on Slovenian Team originally appeared on Athlon Sports. Five-time All-NBA first team Los Angeles Lakers guard Luka Doncic will be joined by two new familiar faces on the Slovenian national team.

Irving had to deal with the after-effects of the Luka Doncic trade, doing his part to keep the Mavericks on the right path before going down with a season-ending ACL injury in March. A year after leading Dallas to the finals, Irving was forced to watch from the sidelines as his team was eliminated in the NBA play-in.

Nelson’s father recently shared his displeasure with the Mavericks’ controversial move, and the apple doesn’t seem to fall far from the tree.
