when was luka traded

Luka Dončić was traded from the Dallas Mavericks to the Los Angeles Lakers in a blockbuster three-team trade deal that was announced on the night of February 1–2, 2025. The trade involved the Lakers sending Anthony Davis and Max Christie to the Mavericks, along with the Mavericks receiving a first- round draft pick and other players. The Utah Jazz were also involved in the deal. This trade was highly unexpected and considered one of the most shocking moves in NBA history, occurring midseason while Dončić was in his prime and had not requested a trade.
