Western conference semifinals

Los Angeles Lakers: Phoenix Suns guard Devin Booker took to social media to fire a three-word message to long-time on-court rival Luka Doncic and the Dallas Mavericks after the Slovenian star was traded to the Los Angeles Lakers on Sunday (IST).

According to a report by ESPN, the Mavericks have agreed to send Luka Doncic to the Lakers in exchange for 10-time All-Star Anthony Davis, reserve guard Max Christie and a 2029 first-round draft pick.

The Mavericks and Suns had gone toe to toe in the 2022 Western Conference Semifinals in a battle which saw the former prevail in Game 7. On Friday, the Mavs social media account had shared a photo of Booker and Doncic captioned ‘Ok last one we swear’ on ‘X’.
