Mavericks eye reunion with Lakers star Luka Doncic this summer
Summary

The Dallas Mavericks are reportedly considering a reunion with former player Luka Doncic, currently with the Los Angeles Lakers. Derek Harper, a Mavericks legend, expressed his hope for the franchise to correct past mistakes, particularly the trade that sent Doncic to the Lakers for Anthony Davis. As the Mavericks finished the 2025-26 season with a disappointing 26-56 record, they aim to improve and could pivot on a significant roster move this summer. The 2026-27 season may see Doncic returning to Dallas, which could help rebuild the relationship with the franchise's fan base if achieved.
