Luka Doncic is back in his elements, and so are the Lakers. After suffering a string of defeats, the Los Angeles Lakers are looking solid again. Winning their previous game against the Phoenix Suns, the Lakers were up against the San Antonio Spurs. Dropping 21 points with 14 assists and nine rebounds, Doncic led the Lakers to a 125-109 victory. However, despite the win, the highlight of the night was not his performance on the court. Instead, it was the way Doncic gestured at the rim!
At one point in the game, Doncic is presented with a golden opportunity. With the rim in close proximity, Doncic attempted an easy point. Much to his agony, the ball did not go in, and it trickled out after hitting the rim. This seemingly made the Lakers’ star angry. And in the heat of the moment, he flipped off at the rim!

This was a hilarious gesture as it soon went viral over the internet. And Doncic did have reasons enough to feel frustrated. The Lakers’ star did not have a very fruitful game despite the numbers. Doncic could only manage to shoot 5-of-20 from the field and only 1-of-7 from behind the three-point line. Surely, a lot has been happening with Doncic since he joined the Lakers. However, with his blockbuster trade still fresh in everyone’s mind, Shams Charania shared a surprising detail.
