Luka Doncic was dealing with a lot of emotions during his first time playing in Dallas against the Mavericks on Wednesday night. The Lakers star cried during the tribute video the Mavs played for him before the game tipped off.

In a league where players are quick to demand trades, form super teams or go to the highest bidder, Luka Doncic's love for Dallas stands out.

On a very emotional night for Luka Dončić in his return to Dallas for the first time since the Mavericks traded him to the Los Angeles Lakers, he received words of encouragement after the game from Anthony Davis when they met on the court. After the Lakers' 112-97 win over the Mavs, Davis told reporters about his message to Dončić.
