Kyle Kuzma loses to Luka Doncic in the first round of the NBA Skills Challenge

Los Angeles Lakers forward Kyle Kuzma may have won the Rising Stars Challenge MVP on Friday night, but one of his opponents in that game, Dallas Mavericks rookie Luka Doncic, got the last laugh, beating him in the first round of the NBA Skills Challenge on Saturday night in Charlotte.

After Ludacris and Karl-Anthony Towns selected Doncic as Kuzma’s first-round opponent by picking random numbers off of the videoboard — yes, that is actually a thing that happened and how they decided — the NBA’s All-Star Saturday night was off to the races.
