In the NBA Cup group stage, the Lakers defeated the Grizzlies 117-112 away from home.

After the game, Nowitzki in the commentary box talked about Doncic. He said: "His performance this summer was very good and he was also very eye-catching in the European Cup. I thought he would have a good season, but I didn't expect his performance to be as good as this. This is amazing, even tying Wilt Chamberlain's record. "

In this campaign, Doncic played 38 minutes and 49 seconds, making 14 of 27, including 6 of 15 three-pointers, 10 of 13 free throws, and scored 44 points, 12 rebounds, and 6 assists.
