Last night, Luka Doncic and the Dallas Mavericks played a friendly game against Real Madrid Basket before the season started. Before he went to the NBA, Doncic played for Real Madrid Basket since he was 13.
People gave the Slovenian ball defender a lot of love when he went back to his old house. About 13,000 Madrid fans came to see Doncic play his old team.
As a gift to Doncic for being a Real Madrid fan, Head of State Florentino Perez went to the field before the game.
I don’t know what else to say because today is so important. “This game has been on my mind all summer,” Doncic said. “I saw old teammates, people who played with me a long time ago.””Thanks for everything!”
Some Real Madrid men’s soccer players who did not make the national team were Lucas Vazquez, Thibaut Courtois, David Alaba, Dani Ceballos, and Brahim Diaz. All of them went to Wizink Arena to see the game.
This player, who was born in 1999, wasn’t in great shape because his hip hurt after practice and he could only play for five minutes. Nine points were given to him. In the end, Real Madrid Basket beat the Dallas Mavericks 123–127.
This is the first NBA pre-season friendly game to be held in Madrid since 2016. At that time, Doncic and Real Madrid Basket beat Oklahoma City’s Thunder.
