Though Luka Doncic is entering new territory with the Los Angeles Lakers, he and former teammate Dorian Finney-Smith are picking up right where they left off. The Lakers acquired Finney-Smith in a trade with the Brooklyn Nets on Dec.

On Tuesday night in the Intuit Dome’s visiting locker room, as he suited up to face the Clippers, Finney-Smith was in disbelief of the circumstances that have reunited him with Doncic. “We thought it might be there,” Finney-Smith said, referring to Dallas. “But I guess it’s L.A. Luka spoke it into existence.”

Los Angeles Lakers forward Dorian Finney-Smith discussed his poster dunk over Charlotte Hornets forward Miles Bridges.

Much has been made about Luka Doncic getting the opportunity to team up with his idol LeBron James on the Los Angeles Lakers. But being traded to the Lakers also reunited Doncic with a good friend and former teammate in Dorian Finney-Smith.
