As the Lakers noted, Kelley spent time with the Mavericks last season. While he and Doncic never appeared in a game together, they were teammates for about one week. Kelley signed with Dallas on Jan. 26 before Doncic was traded to LA on Feb. 1.

According to Lakers insider Anthony Irwin, the two stars share a strong chemistry off the court, and they are all focused on their goal.
