Luka Doncic played his third game for the Los Angeles Lakers. They shockingly lost (at home) to the Charlotte Hornets. Doncic had a tough night, finishing with 14 points, 11 rebounds, eight assists and one steal while shooting 5/18 from the field.

After a challenging start to his tenure with the Los Angeles Lakers, Luka Doncic is optimistic about his path to regaining top form.
