Luka Doncic's first three games with the Los Angeles Lakers haven't been amazing, and that's putting it kindly. He returned from a 22-game absence due to a calf strain before the All-Star Break and has not looked like the same Luka Doncic we became accustomed to seeing with the Dallas Mavericks.

Ticket prices for Doncic's first game back at the American Airlines Center in a purple and gold jersey on April 9 start at about $250 for the upper level, according to StubHub. Tickets in the lower bowl are going for up to at least $2,000. Some floor seats are going for almost $10,000.

Still without recent addition Anthony Davis, the Dallas Mavericks (30-26) are all set to host the New Orleans Pelicans (13-42) at the American Airlines Center in Dallas. Despite Davis’ absence, the Mavericks are on a two-game winning streak and are currently eighth in the Western Conference.
