He has not even played his debut game, but he is already showing his affection for the region. Luca Doncic (Lakers) donated 500,000 dollars to forest fire recovery activities in LA.
"Athletes and celebrities with deep ties to the L.A. region have donated a lot of money to help forest fires. However, the latest donation was from a superstar athlete who was not a member of the local team at the time. Doncic is the hero," the LA Times reported on Sunday.
The three-way trade between the Lakers, the Dallas Mavericks, and the Utah Jazz on Tuesday gave Doncic a new Lakers jersey. It was a shocking transfer that has not been seen in NBA history.
Doncic was unable to play immediately due to a left calf injury he suffered in December last year. Nevertheless, he started his campaign by donating to the Los Angeles area not as far away as he can. He is said to have donated 500,000 U.S. dollars to recover from the recent massive forest fires in the Los Angeles area through his own foundation.
Doncic said on the foundation's social media, "After arriving in LA, I was so sad to see and know firsthand the damage caused by the forest fire. It was unbelievable. It's a pity that young children lost their places where they used to play with their friends, such as home and school. Our foundation is donating $500,000 to wildfire recovery activities."
He added, "We need a place where all children can play safely. We are also working on rebuilding destroyed courts and playgrounds. For all the local residents affected by this forest fire, we are ready to continue to help in the future." 카지노
Meanwhile, Doncic is expected to make his Lakers debut in a home game against the Utah Jazz scheduled for 12:30 p.m. on the 11th after a long injury hiatus.
