Jazz rookie Isaiah Collier ran into traffic trying to create space to finish the play inside the paint. During the process, Collier landed a brutal elbow on Doncic's face, as apparent from the below-attached video by SportsCenter on X (formerly known as Twitter).

Welcome to the Luka Era in Los Angeles, which officially kicked off with a 132–113 win over the cellar-dwelling Jazz. Doncic’s final stat line: 14 points in 24 minutes. He collected five rebounds and four assists. Not bad for a player out since Christmas.

In 24 minutes of action, Dončić started and recorded 14 points on 5-for-14 shooting from the field and 1-for-7 shooting from three, along with five rebounds, four assists, and one turnover. He was also a +15 in the plus/minus category, the fourth highest on the team.
