Coach JJ Redick's Los Angeles Lakers hopped a flight to Atlanta to take on Quin Snyder's Hawks, amounting to a potential showcase game for superstar guard/forward Luka Doncic on a day when running mate Austin Reaves was ruled out. Doncic was listed as probable for the Lakers' prior game against the Pistons but missed the contest as Reaves went off en route to win number nine for Redick's team.

Doncic hit a high-arcing shot that would make Stephen Curry and Magic Johnson jealous cameras caught the pre-game warm-up magic from the sidelines.

Of course Luka Doncic drilled this trick shot pregame 😂

Luka Magic!
