Stefanos Tsitsipas expressed his admiration for Luka Doncic after the latter posted a message thanking the Dallas Mavericks’ fans for the unforgettable journey with the team. The 25-year-old was traded to the LA Lakers in exchange for Anthony Davis, which has been called one of the most notable trades in NBA history.

On February 4, Tsitsipas responded to Doncic’s post on Instagram, capturing the emotions of Mavericks fans everywhere. The Greek tennis star wished the best for the newly appointed Lakers guard as he embarked on his next chapter and wrote:

“You gave us magic, now go make more history. Forever grateful!🙏,” Tsitsipas wrote.

Doncic will now join NBA icon LeBron James, wearing his no. 77 jersey for the Lakers in purple and gold. Meanwhile, Anthony Davis will team up with Dirk Nowitzki and Kyrie Irving in Dallas, enhancing the Mavericks’ defense.

The news of the trade left several tennis players in disbelief, with many NBA fans on the ATP tour sharing their reactions to the big move.
