Mavs' Luka Doncic starting foundation to teach 'joy' of hoops

DALLAS -- Mavericks guard Luka Doncic is starting his own foundation, saying his primary goal is to ensure that children learning how to play basketball are doing so the right way and within a positive environment.

The Luka Doncic Foundation will be formally launched Saturday -- World Basketball Day. Doncic plans on bringing 750 children from the Dallas area as his guests to a Mavericks game that night against the LA Clippers.

His foundation has already commissioned a study on youth basketball in the U.S. and the Balkan region of Europe.
