Luka Doncic’s stats in the 2022-23 NBA season
Luka has been on a tear. The 24-year-old was leading the league in scoring with a stunning 33 points per game. He is also putting up 8.4 rebounds and 8 assists per game.
The point guard is also averaging 1.5 steals a game. Defensive woes are visible but his offensive output is simply astonishing. This season, due to injuries and an incompetent roster around him, he hasn’t been able to maximize talent.
