Oh, what could've been for the Dallas Mavericks in an alternate universe that still includes Luka Doncic and Jalen Brunson in Mavs uniforms. Instead, Mavericks fans have to watch as their former backcourt duo now shines in the bright lights as superstars for the Los Angeles Lakers and New York Knicks.

The New York Knicks will take on the Los Angeles Lakers on Thursday night at Crypto.com Arena. Tip-off is set for 10 p.m. ET on TNT. This will be the second meeting of the season between the two teams, and the first time the Knicks will face the Lakers with Luka Doncic on the squad.

The Dallas Mavericks have been under great scrutiny for their moves over the years. Two years after letting Jalen Brunson walk in free agency to sign with the New York Knicks, they traded away a generational superstar in Luka Doncic to the Los Angeles Lakers at this year’s trade deadline.
