Luka Doncic now has something to prove, though. The Dallas Mavericks do not trust his durability or conditioning. While a matchup against the lowly Jazz is not likely to accomplish much from an optics standpoint, he can still send a small message that his body is in working order by carving up the defense.

NBA star Luka Doncic is set to make his debut for the Los Angeles Lakers against the Utah Jazz on Monday. However, after being sidelined since December, many are wondering whether or not he's going to start for the Purple and Gold.

Ahead of Luka Doncic's debut, the Lakers are giving away a shirt bearing the star's iconic number 77 to every fan inside Crypto.com Arena. The arena seats around 20,000. The giveaway is a good gesture from the Lakers organization after the blockbuster trade. It also lessens the sting of the cost of admission to tonight's contest against the Jazz.
