Tuesday night’s Lakers at Clippers game became must-see TV for fans of both Los Angeles based franchises as fans wondered whether recent Lakers trade addition Luka Doncic would take the court.

Doncic sat courtside in a black long-sleeved Lakers shirt, watching the action from the Lakers’ bench as his new team seized a commanding lead on the road. 

Meanwhile, the appearance of one of a rap superstar turned heads as fans debated the new-look Lakers, along with the Clippers’ shocking ineptitude. 

The Lakers jumped out to a 73-50 halftime lead, putting the pedal to the metal as they began to put the finishing touches on a win over their crosstown rivals.

The Clippers’ X account welcomed star hip hop artist Travis Scott to the building with a message as fans responded in the comments section. 

“No need…Clippers tonight against the Lakers are just pathetic,” one fan said in response. 

“Sorry for what you had to witness,” another fan added.

“How’s the (expletive)” whooping, another reader wrote sans question mark. 

“He loves them sunglasses,” another fan said. 

The Lakers won 122-97, setting up a countdown to Saturday’s game against the Pacers at 4 p.m. at the Crypto.com Arena in Los Angeles, Doncic’s likely debut with his new team.
