Feb. 25 and April 9 are two dates that were instantly placed under a microscope once Luka Doncic and Anthony Davis were traded for each other earlier this month. After three weeks, the first meeting between the Dallas Mavericks and Los Angeles Lakers since they shook up the landscape of the NBA has finally arrived.

Though not much has been revealed about Dallas' motive behind trading their star, reports have indicated that the Mavericks were unhappy with Doncic's work ethic and conditioning. Recently, a former Mavericks coach spoke about Doncic and shed some light on these reports.
