The Slovenian star would be looking to emulate the same feat with the Dallas Mavericks once the NBA resumes on 30th July in the NBA bubble. The former Rookie of the year was in the dazzling form before the lockdown and the Mavericks will be hoping he continues to play like that.

HALA MADRID!💪💪

Practice buckets from the @Lakers in Orlando! #WholeNewGame pic.twitter.com/EyYvsOPKyk

The LA Lakers documented their first practice in the NBA bubble today. This is a surprising move considering until this point the media was not allowed to film the Lakers in practice. New acquisition Guard JR Smith who was claimed off the waivers was seen putting up shots in the video clip taken from inside the NBA bubble. Power Forward Anthony Davis was also in the video practising.

The LA Lakers are one of the favourites to win the NBA title and the Western Conference. They will be relying heavily on Anthony Davis and superstar LeBron James. However, the secondary unit which comprises of guys like Alex Caruso and Quinn Cook will be equally important to their success in the NBA bubble.
