Luka Dončić named to NBA Cup All-Tournament Team

With the conclusion of the NBA Cup on Tuesday, which had the New York Knicks take home their first NBA Cup championship in franchise history, the NBA announced its All-Tournament Team. Lakers star guard Luka Dončić was named on the team for his performances in group play and the quarterfinals.

Dončić joined stars Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, Jalen Brunson, De'Aaron Fox, and Karl-Anthony Towns on the All-Tournament team.

The Slovenian received 11 votes among the 20 voters on the media panel. Brunson had the most votes with an anonymous 20 votes, with Gilgeous-Alexander right behind him with 18.

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.
