And they said LeBron would eat into Luka’s points. LeBron James is on his second game, his first road game of the season, putting up double digits and being a consistent presence. And nothing about his return has dulled Luka Doncic’s impressive start in his absence. Doncic has maintained his consistently high scoring streak since starting the 2025-26 season with 40+ point game. Tonight, he added an astounding 33 points to Lakers’ back-to-back 108-106 win over the Utah Jazz. And he made a personal milestone that the NBA has never seen. Through double digits in points and assists since this season began, Luka Doncic has racked up a grand total of 414 points and 107 assists. No other NBA player has done that in a dozen games. The NBA just announced that he’s the first player in the history of the league to have 400+ PTS and 100+ AST through 12 games. This is a developing story. 

Luka Doncic just made an insane record no NBA player ever has as the Lakers hit the road for LeBron James' second game back.
