Doncic had 0 points on 0/2 shooting and 1 rebound in 3 minutes before exiting the match early in the first quarter. That was the first scoreless game of the Slovenian guard's career.

The 23-year-old was NBA's leading scorer until last night. He now averages a career-best 33.0 points, 8.9 rebounds, and 8.4 assists over 45 games this season.

Doncic has had the most 50-point games this season in the NBA with three. He highlighted it with a historic 60-point triple-double vs. the New York Knicks last Dec. 27.

Luka continues his string of NBA All-Star appearances. He's made it to four straight seasons, including next month's edition in Salt Lake City. Doncic has been named a starter every time he's been voted to play.
