Dončić averaged 36.2 points, 7.6 rebounds and 10.0 assists in Cup games while shooting 48.7% from the field and 44.2% from 3-point range. The Lakers finished 4-0 in group play before being knocked out in the quarterfinals by the San Antonio Spurs.
The 26-year-old scored over 40 points twice in group play—44 points in Memphis and 43 points at home vs. the Clippers.
The Lakers currently hold the third-best record (fifth in the NBA) in the West with an 18-7 record and have won seven of their last 10 games in large part due to Dončić leading the NBA in scoring at 34.7 points (8.7 rebounds, 8.8 assists) a game.
