Real Madrid forward Eden Hazard entered the land of the giants when he met up with basketball star Luka Doncic after watching a Mavericks game in Dallas, where he has travelled for surgery on his ankle.
The rising NBA player towered over the Belgium international as they swapped jerseys after the Mavericks beat the New Orleans Pelicans 127-123, with Doncic scoring 30 points.
Hazard suffered his blow while playing for Los Blancos against Levante at the end of February, with a return to action before the end of the season looking unlikely, and now the former Chelsea star is in the US for his procedure.
