Luka's first game against Jazz in the Lakers' victory was impressive, but his second outing against Utah wasn't that much.

He is honest when evaluating his performance.
“I'm a little rusted today,” Don Sich said. “Two games since I was injured – turnovers, missed free throws. I have to do better. I think we, close to this [All-Star] Rest, must rest. For me, I think it's more than anything else. But I still go to work. So, I was excited about this break and I couldn't wait to go back and play. ”
Doncic will be part of the All-Star Weekend for the first time, so he's excited for the right rest.
“Like I said, it’s just my mental rest,” Don Sich explained. “Exercise, just want to have some fun with your family.”
The Slovenian star further elaborated on purple and gold in his first two games and was not worried about fitness.
“Very good,” Don Siqi said. “Still go back to the rhythm. You can't really practice five-on-five things. The way in the game is different, but I'm glad to be back there and try to win the game and try to play the game.”
He has high hopes for a LeBron James-led team.
“I think we can go a long way,” Luca said. “The first game against them showed how we could play. Everyone was connected to the sides of the floor. Today wasn't our best game, so we We must work hard for this.”
