The 2024-25 campaign is over for both the Dallas Mavericks and Los Angeles Lakers. Dallas was humiliated in the Play-In Tournament against the Memphis Grizzlies, while the Lakers lost in five games to the Minnesota Timberwolves in the first round of the NBA Playoffs.

The Mavericks and Lakers played each other twice after the stunning trade of Doncic in February, once in Dallas and once in LA. The Lakers won both matchups, with Doncic posting a triple-double in the first game and scoring 45 points in the second, tying a season-high.

The Los Angeles Lakers and Dallas Mavericks are looking at staging a preseason game in Las Vegas, according to NBA insider Marc Stein. Assuming they both played, this would pit the Lakers' Luka Dončić and Mavericks' Anthony Davis against their old teams.
