The Los Angelos Lakers and Dallas Mavericks shocked the NBA on the night of February 2 with the Luka Doncic trade, a blockbuster Saturday night deal that was viewed as one of the most stunning moves in the history of pro sports. Two months later, Doncic is finally returning to Dallas.
Doncic, age 26, stayed professional after being blindsided by the trade that sent him to Los Angeles after he had established his roots in Dallas. Even amid NBA rumors leaked by the Mavericks regarding DOncic’s weight and commitment to the game, the All-Star guard only said nice things publicly about his former team.
While millions of people will be watching the Lakers vs Mavericks matchup on ESPN when it tops off at 7:30 PM ET on Wednesday night, others are paying top dollar to see it in person.
On StubHub, the cheapest ticket to Wednesday’s Lakers vs Mavericks game is $215 for a seat in Section 333, Row G. That means paying out more than $200 for a seat in the rafters, less than five rows from the walls of the arena. Fans who want to sit in the 100 level will need to pay out anywhere from $571 to $4,995, depending on how close to the court they want to be.
