Mavs legend Dirk Nowitzki to attend Luka Doncic's Lakers debut, report says

Luka Doncic will make his Los Angeles Lakers debut on Monday night against the Utah Jazz, who are currently the West's second-worst team.
Doncic has shifted to a near 50/50 split in assisted and unassisted threes this season, marking his highest rate of assisted threes in his career.
The Lakers traded for Mark Williams to address their center position, but the trade was rescinded after Williams failed his physical.
The biggest question is how Doncic and LeBron James will fit together, as Doncic prefers pick-and-roll play but lacks a strong partner outside of Jaxson Hayes.
