Luka Doncic's start with the Los Angeles Lakers has been less than inspiring. Through three games, two before the All-Star break and one after, he's averaging just 14.7 PPG, 6.7 RPG, and 5.3 APG while shooting 35.

As Luka Doncic adjusts to his new surroundings with the Los Angeles Lakers following a blockbuster trade from the Dallas Mavericks, NBA insider Shams Charania provided key insights into the star's state of mind.

The Slovenian superstar played in both of the Lakers’ final two games before the All-Star break, but he logged only 47 total minutes while the Lakers eased him back into competition. Doncic then got several days of recovery while the rest of the NBA’s top players convened in San Francisco for the All-Star Game.
