Luka Dončić debuts his postseason showmanship in Lakers gold against a familiar opponent in Anthony Edwards and the Timberwolves.

The Los Angeles Lakers opened the preseason and regular season against the Minnesota Timberwolves, and now they’ll open the postseason against them as well. The No. 3 seed Lakers will host the No. 6 Timberwolves in the first round of the 2025 NBA playoffs.

During the 2024 playoffs, Luka Doncic and the Dallas Mavericks faced Minnesota in the Western Conference Finals. The 4-1 series saw the Slovenian star average 32.4 points on 47.3 percent shooting from the field and 43.4 percent from the 3-point line.
