Luka Doncic scored a career-high 51 points Thursday night in a win against the Los Angeles Clippers in Dallas. It’s Doncic’s first career 50-point game.
Doncic joins former Mavericks Jim Jackson, Jamal Mashburn and Dirk Nowitzki as the Mavericks to have reached the 50-point plateau. This was the fifth 50-point game for a Mavericks player, with Dirk reaching the milestone twice. Dirk is also still the Mavericks single-game scoring champ with a 53 point game back in 2004.
Anytime an NBA player scores 50 points, it’s pretty fun, but Doncic really started the show early and often.
