Los Angeles Lakers superstar Luka Doncic was given an encouraging timeline for return after sustaining finger and lower-body injuries.

According to Vinsanity, he was exactly in Luka's shoes when he teamed up with Jason Kidd in New Jersey. Carter assumed that "Luka Magic" had been trying to figure out how to form a synergy with LeBron James, given that they were both used to being leaders of their teams.

Luka Doncic has begun his first full season with the Lakers on a serious heater. The Slovenian superstar is off to one of the greatest starts to a season in NBA history, following up his 43-point effort on opening night against Golden State with a 49-point spree in Los Angeles’ victory over Minnesota on Friday night.

A HORSE contest between two of the biggest stars in the league, Curry and Doncic, has the potential to be a hit. Again, it's obvious that both are willing to face each other. They have a ridiculous arsenal of trick shots that would produce an exciting contest. It's up to the NBA now whether they will make it happen.

While no NBA team—and certainly not one with a legacy as rich as the Los Angeles Lakers'—hangs a banner for a 2-1 start, the Purple and Gold should be generally pleased with how they've opened the new campaign.
