On October 10, Luka Doncic will make a much-anticipated return to the court in Madrid for a friendly game between the Dallas Mavericks and Real Madrid, the Spanish powerhouse officially announced.

The possibility of Doncic making his return to Madrid for an exhibition game has been in the work for a while, as Mark Cuban, the owner of the Dallas Mavericks, had already anticipated last summer, but now it'll become a reality.

The Mavericks failed to qualify for the playoffs last season and there's a certain expectation on Mark Cuban's side to return to the post season.

Real Madrid are the reigning Euroleague champions after defeating Olympiacos in the final game of the season.

Doncic has always remained extremely close to Real Madrid's environment, he watches as many games as possible during the NBA season and he often uses his social media accounts to share his passions for "Los blancos".

The game will take place at the WiZink Center, Real Madrid's home arena, on October 10, 2023.
