The Los Angeles Lakers have had a wild few days since beating the Knicks at MSG on Saturday night as they traded Anthony Davis to the Mavericks for Luka Doncic in a deal that rightfully stunned the sports world.

On Tuesday night LeBron James & Co. got back to work on the court as they blew out the Los Angeles Clippers, 122-97. Doncic watched from the bench in street clothes as he's in the final days of recovering from a calf injury but he seemed to love what he saw from his new teammates.

One of his new guys, of course, is LeBron James's son, Bronny James. The 20-year-old rookie played just six minutes in the victory but he made it count as he hit his first three-pointer of his career. Doncic loved seeing that:

What a week for the Lakers, who will next host Steph Curry and the Warriors on Thursday night.
