In a stunning NBA twist, Los Angeles Lakers point guard Luka Dončić is heading back to Dallas. The Dallas Mavericks have officially signed Dončić to a 4-year contract worth $109 million, bringing the superstar back to the franchise where he began his NBA career.

The deal was confirmed earlier today by team officials and Dončić’s agent. Dončić, 26, will take on the role of starting point guard and is expected to be the cornerstone of the Mavericks’ new era.

🔁 A Shocking Return to Dallas

Dončić was traded to the Los Angeles Lakers just two seasons ago in a blockbuster deal that shook the league. Despite impressive performances in LA — including multiple triple-doubles and an All-Star appearance — Dončić reportedly expressed interest in returning to the Mavericks to “finish what he started.”

Mavericks GM Nico Harrison praised the move:

“Luka is one of the most dynamic players in the game today. Bringing him back is not only a homecoming, it’s a statement of our championship ambitions.”

Dončić released a brief statement, saying:

“Dallas is home. I’m grateful for my time in LA, but this is where my heart is. I’m ready to bring a title to this city.”
