Luka Doncic is the first player with at least 400+ points and 100+ assists through their first 12 games. In total, Doncic has 414 points and 107 assists through 12 games in the 2025-26 season. It’s not surprising to see Luka making NBA history. He is one of the top players in the entire NBA. Along with his league-leading 34.5 points, Doncic averages 8.8 rebounds, 8.9 assists, and 2.0 steals per game. If he continues to play at this pace, Luka could be in the running for MVP.
At this stage in his career, Luka Doncic is focused on winning. The trade from Dallas was an absolute shock, not just to Donic but the entire NBA. Since then, Doncic has taken his offseason program to another level. He came into the 2025-26 season in the best shape of his career since his rookie season. The results are starting to show on an individual level, which has then led to team success. Los Angeles is 12-4 through 16 games and wants to be a contender in the West come the postseason.
