ESPN announced on Sunday that they would broadcast Monday night's Utah Jazz vs. Los Angeles Lakers game which is now Doncic's expected Lakers' debut. ESPN previously flexed Saturday's Lakers-Indiana Pacers game onto their airwaves because it was thought that Doncic was going to play. Instead both he and LeBron James sat out.

The NBA and its fans are still buzzing after the Lakers officially acquired Doncic on Feb. 2 in exchange for Anthony Davis.

Luka Doncic made his Laker debut Monday night against the Utah Jazz at Crypto.com Arena while LeBron James returned to action after a one-game absence.
