On the same day, Doncic posted a heartfelt farewell message to Dallas on Instagram. Antetokounmpo reacted with two emojis: “💯🔥”, showing his support for the Slovenian star.
Doncic’s post has generated a lot of buzz, with fans sharing mixed emotions about his departure from the Mavericks.Although they play for different teams, Doncic and Antetokounmpo share a common background—both arrived in the NBA from Europe and quickly made their mark on the league.

The Bucks have yet to face the Lakers this season, but they are set to meet Doncic and his new team on March 13 in Milwaukee. They will then travel to Los Angeles on March 20 for a matchup at Crypto.com Arena.
