For the first time ever, Luka Doncic will play in Dallas Wednesday night as a member of the visiting team, as he and the Los Angeles Lakers face the Dallas Mavericks.

Dončić is returning to Dallas for the first time since the shocking trade between the Mavs and the Lakers in February.

As a refresher, the Mavericks only received Anthony Davis, Max Christie, and a 2029 first-round pick for a then 25-year-old five-time First-Team All-NBA selection, while players like Mikal Bridges have gone for five first-round picks. But there is one specific trade asset that the Mavericks didn't receive that Windhorst calls "malpractice."
