Before his game against the Washington Wizards, DC, Luka Doncic of the MAVERICKS went on a family trip.
During the game in Dallas on Tuesday, the 23-year-old Slovenian guard controlled the boards with 15 rebounds and 41 points.
However, the Mavericks lost 127–126, making them 25–24 in the NBA regular season.
Fans were shocked when Doncic showed up to a game last week in a “Apocalypse-proof” $200,000 Jeep.

But it was a touching moment he shared with his family before the Wizards game that made everyone talk.
Doncic put his dad Sasa in good seats courtside at the American Airlines Center in a video that Dallas shared.
They were with Sasa. One of the girls was thought to be Doncic’s half-sister Tijana, and the other was his cousin.
The three-time All-Star shook dad’s hand and then gave the girls high fives.
The official Twitter account for the Mavericks wrote under the cute video, “Family over everything.”
Fans were thrilled to see their favorite player put his family ahead of the big game.
“Being nice to Lukas’s dad,” one person wrote.
I saw someone else write, “Slovenia is proud.”
“Sisters are going to be deadly in the WNBA,” said someone else.
Last week, Doncic made headlines when he showed up to a game against the Atlanta Hawks in the new car he bought.
He drove up to the race in a stunning $200,000 Apocalypse Hellfire, which is a Jeep Gladiator that has been heavily customized.
The crazy car has a three-part Kevlar cover for protection, a front bumper made of steel that is a quarter-inch thick, and a 9,500-pound winch.
There is a 6.2-liter V8 engine with 500 horsepower under the hood.
Doncic once again sped up the Mavericks’ game against the Wizards, and he dominated the stat sheet.
However, even another 40-plus effort was not enough to keep Dallas from losing their sixth game in a row.
