Lakers’ Luka Doncic drills absolutely insane trick shot before Hawks clash

Los Angeles Lakers star Luka Doncic went viral after drilling a high-arcing trick shot during pre-game warm-ups ahead of a matchup against Quin Snyder's Atlanta Hawks. Doncic returned to head coach JJ Redick's lineup following an absence against the Detroit Pistons, stepping up on a night when teammate Austin Reaves was ruled out.

Doncic quickly shook off any rust, recording nine points, five assists, and three steals across 12 minutes to help guide the Lakers to a 31-22 lead by the end of the first quarter. Onyeka Okongwu paced the Hawks with nine first-quarter points, while Sandro Mamukelashvili contributed five points for Los Angeles.
