Luka Doncic, who joined Real Madrid at the age of 13, will be playing for the Mavericks in the upcoming game. He became the youngest-ever EuroLeague Final Four MVP when he led Real Madrid to the 2018 EuroLeague title at the age of 19. Doncic was selected in the third pick of the 2018 Draft and that was when he signed to play for the Dallas Mavericks, where he is still able to showcase his extraordinary skill.
The NBA’s Best Five and All-Star teams have included him in each of the previous four seasons, and he was named Rookie of the Year in 2019. Now he is destined to face his childhood team again. So, when will Luka Doncic’s Mavs play Real Madrid?
