As per a different stat, Dončić is the second-fastest Lakers star to reach the iconic 150 points, 50 rebounds, and 50 assists milestone in franchise history.
The only person to do it faster was James himself.

Luka Dončić Gave an Update After His In-Game Injury
While Dončić was able to overcome his struggles and put 29 points on the board, he was dealing with a knee issue. Dončić was fouled during Q1 but assured well-wishers he was ‘good’ later on.
“It was on the fall, I think,” Dončić said postgame. “Just a little tight. But then I got kneed in the knee. Third straight game in the same spot, so kind of struggle on that right leg. But I’m good.”
With postseason fast approaching, Dončić and James’ duo has assured fans that another title was certainly a possibility. The Lakers will be facing the New Orleans Pelicans on March 4 at Crypto.com Arena.
