Luka Doncic's blockbuster move to the Los Angeles Lakers has rocked the basketball world, and now, his debut jersey could make history as well. According to sports memorabilia experts, the purple and gold threads he wore in his first game might fetch between $500,000 and $1 million at auction.

David Kohler, founder of SCP Auctions and a renowned collector of Lakers memorabilia, believes the jersey will command a sky-high price. Whether Doncic wore the same jersey throughout the game or switched at halftime remains unclear, but either way, the demand is undeniable.

The whereabouts of Doncic's jersey remain a mystery. Some speculate he may still have it, while others point to a potential swap after the game. Luka was spotted exchanging jerseys with NFL star Puka Nacua in the tunnels of Crypto.com Arena, leaving fans wondering if the prized piece is already out of his hands, according to TMZ Sports.

The hype around Doncic's first game as a Laker has been massive. The Lakers' matchup against the Utah Jazz became one of the most sought-after tickets, drawing A-list celebrities like Floyd Mayweather and Will Ferrell. Even Mavericks legend Dirk Nowitzki made an appearance to support the former Mavs star.

Luka Doncic Lakers Merch Is Selling Out Fast

The Lakers organization embraced Doncic's arrival in style. In a major promotional move, they gave every fan inside Crypto.com Arena a shirt with his iconic number 77. That means roughly 20,000 fans walked away with Luka-branded Lakers gear, WFAA learned.

Not surprisingly, Doncic's official Lakers jersey has been flying off the shelves. Many sizes sold out on NBA.com shortly after becoming available, proving just how eager Lakers fans are to embrace their new superstar.


A Nightmare for Mavericks Fans

While Lakers fans celebrate, Mavericks supporters are still processing the devastating loss of their franchise player. Seeing Doncic's name and number in Lakers colors—plastered across an arena packed with fans was a painful reality check. Even worse, the Doncic debut ticket prices had an average price of up to $400.

If that wasn't enough, LeBron James himself has been vocal about his excitement to have Doncic on board. With two of the league's biggest stars now on the same team, the Lakers are shaping up to be a powerhouse.

Will the Doncic Jersey Hit the Auction Block?

Whether Doncic's debut jersey will be auctioned remains unknown. If it does hit the market, it will undoubtedly become one of the most valuable modern NBA jerseys in history.

This isn't the only significant piece of Lakers memorabilia making waves. Kohler recently acquired the jerseys worn by LeBron James and Bronny James on October 22, 2024-the night they became the first father-son duo to share an NBA court.

With the Lakers fully embracing their new superstar, the question now is how far Doncic can take them. Will his chemistry with the LA town improve or it will falter in the end? We never know the answer.
