The Luka Doncic trade to the Lakers sent shock waves through the NBA ... and the worth of his debut jersey could create even more, 'cause TMZ Sports is told the threads could fetch up to one million dollars!

David Kohler, founder of SCP auctions -- who also has arguably the most impressive personal collection of Lake Show memorabilia -- tells us the purple and gold Lakers jersey donned by Doncic is likely worth "500K to 1 million" at auction.

It's unclear if the 25-year-old NBA superstar rocked the same jersey throughout the whole contest or if he switched out at the half ... but either way, the jersey would still fetch a fortune.

A Dallas Mavericks fan was booted from the team's home matchup against the Sacramento Kings on Monday ... 'cause apparently calling for the GM to be fired for trading away Luka Doncic is a big no-no.

It all went down at the American Airlines Center, where at least two Dallas supporters made their frustrations with Nico Harrison crystal clear.

They had two bright poster boards that read "Fire Nico" on them ... but if that wasn't enough, one of the guys also took advantage of a karaoke segment on the scoreboard to really bring it home.

Some of Hollywood's brightest stars were drawn to Crypto.com Arena on Monday night to catch Luka Doncic's first-ever Lakers game ... and the new L.A. superstar didn't disappoint.

Logging his first minutes in purple and gold since the Mavericks traded him away earlier this month, Doncic played well in a 132-113 win over the Utah Jazz ... as a ton of A-listers sat just feet away.

Adele, Rich Paul, Floyd Mayweather, Will Ferrell and a gaggle of others -- including Dallas legend Dirk Nowitzki -- caught the action ... and enjoyed an impressive victory in Doncic's debut.

If you want to catch Luka Dončić's Lakers debut in person Monday night, ya better have some deep pockets ... 'cause ticket prices for the big matchup are currently soaring.

Victory Live -- a company that tracks the sales of tickets across secondary markets -- said in a statement to TMZ Sports just hours before L.A.'s tip-off against the Jazz that the demand for the tilt is going through the roof.

The co. stated that prior to Doncic's acquisition, fans could get into Crypto.com Arena for an average of about $131. But, after it was announced the game would be LD's first in purple and gold, the average price has jumped to around $358.

Ex-NBA player-turned-commentator Ryan Hollins is addressing a recent in-game comment that left him with "childish embarrassment" ... apologizing to anyone who was offended by his words.

A four-second clip of the former journeyman's call during the Rockets' 94-87 win over the Raptors made rounds on social media ... which came after Toronto hooper Gradey Dick was shown laying on the court in pain.

Hollins innocently tried to explain to play-by-play guy Craig Ackerman what happened ... saying, "Somebody got Dick in the face, Craig. See if he's okay."

Luka Doncic is making his presence felt in an amazing way before even debuting for the Lakers ... by donating $500K to help his new city of Los Angeles recover after the wildfires.

The 5-time All-Star -- who was traded to the Lakers in a blockbuster deal last weekend -- revealed the generous contribution on Monday ... expressing how heartbreaking it was to witness the damage the blazes left behind since his arrival.

The fires, which occurred from January 7th to the 31st, killed 29 people ... and others remain missing. Over 57k acres were burned, including more than 18k structures that were either damaged or destroyed.

Marcus Jordan entered a not guilty plea in his DUI case on Friday, TMZ Sports has learned.

As we previously reported ... Michael's son is facing three charges stemming from his run-in with police earlier this week -- DUI crash with property damage, possession of cocaine and resisting an officer without violence.

Jordan allegedly got his Lamborghini SUV stuck on train tracks early Tuesday morning after a night out in Florida ... and when cops arrived at the scene, they claim he showed signs of intoxication.

Ben Affleck scored some major dad points Thursday night ... not only did he snag himself and his kid some better seats than Kamala Harris for the Lakers game -- he also got Steph Curry to swing by for a meet-and-greet!

Ben and little Samuel Garner Affleck scored some courtside chairs for L.A.'s home tilt vs. the Golden State Warriors ... and the two seemed to have a blast as Curry and LeBron James duked it out on the floor.

The guys were seen cheering often ... with the young Affleck even animatedly celebrating a few 3-pointers in his James jersey.

Marcus Jordan is breaking his silence days after he was busted for DUI ... saying he appreciates everyone who reached out following the arrest -- but for now, he's shifting his focus elsewhere.

The son of NBA legend Michael Jordan posted to his Instagram story Thursday morning ... saying his priority is his store, The Trophy Room, and "won't be making any comments on recent media stories and my personal life."

"I sincerely appreciate your concerns & thank you for your kind understanding," he added.

Khloe Kardashian has put the "trauma" of her Lamar Odom marriage behind her ... but her ex-husband hasn't, and it was abundantly clear during their recent reunion.

The Good American founder and the former NBA star reunited on the season 6 premiere of "The Kardashians" last night, where they walked down memory lane and reconnected for the first time in 9 years.

While there were plenty of sweet moments between the former flames, the tension was certainly palpable, with Lamar looking particularly nervous throughout most of the sit-down.

LiAngelo Ball's already got the hottest song in all hip-hop ... and now the hooper-turned-rapper locked down one of the greatest artists in the genre's history to jump on the remix for "Tweaker," Lil Wayne!

The remix doesn't drop until Friday, but fans got a bit of an early look at the cover art for the tune ... hours before it'll be streamed by scores on platforms like Apple Music and Spotify.

The pairing absolutely makes sense ... as a lot of people have said the song gives off an early 2000s, southern vibe (in fact many said Gelo sounds like Mannie Fresh) ... perfect for Wayne's style.

Jimmy Butler was traded to the Warriors while his now former team, the Miami Heat, was in the middle of a game, so the players had no clue the big deal was made ... until a fan near the bench broke the news!

Butler -- who was suspended by the Heat a few weeks back for "conduct detrimental" to the team -- was the main piece in a three-team trade ... which saw the embattled NBA star heading to San Francisco, in a deal that also included Andrew Wiggins, Kyle Anderson, and a projected top 10 pick in 2025.

The Heat pulled the trigger on the big move while the squad played the 76ers in Philadelphia. Because players don't have phones on the bench, they had no idea what had just gone down.

Myles Garrett talked things over with LeBron James before going public with his trade demand ... with the Cleveland Browns star revealing the details of his conversation with the former Cav about making his own "decision."

The 2023 Defensive Player of the Year told the "Rich Eisen Show" all about his chat with the King during his appearance on Wednesday's program from New Orleans ... saying the two athletes discussed what it was like when he left The Land for the Miami Heat in 2010.

"What was his thought process going into it before he left Cleveland?" 29-year-old Garrett said. "Just making sure I made a logical decision, taking my time. Just trying to take away the pressure of doing something like that. Cleveland, really that area, northeast Ohio, has been his home. It feels like my home, as well."

It sure seems like LeBron James is twisting the knife in his wounded relationship with Drake ... 'cause hours after the rapper dissed him at a concert, he took to social media to show love for Kendrick Lamar.

King James shared his excitement for K. Dot's upcoming Super Bowl Halftime Show on Wednesday ... saying he can't wait to watch the Compton native "kill that [poop emoji]" in a matter of days.

While there's no direct shot, it doesn't take a rocket scientist to read between the lines -- after all, there's no way Bron wasn't aware of the stunt Drizzy pulled by switching up his LeBron lyrics while performing "Nonstop" in Australia.

Marcus Jordan's combativeness with authorities apparently continued well after he was arrested on Tuesday morning ... cause a new police report, obtained by TMZ Sports, states he belligerently demanded officers play Mariah Carey tunes while he was locked up.

Jordan was taken to a DUI testing facility in Orange County, Fla. a short time after he was placed into custody following allegations he drunkenly got his Lamborghini SUV stuck on some Maitland train tracks ... and cops say he acted like a jerk the entire time he was there.

According to the Orange County Sheriff's Office documents we obtained, Jordan refused to take breath tests ... and "aggressively and repeatedly" pulled away from officers.

Drake is still in his feelings when it comes to LeBron James ... 'cause the rap superstar switched up his song lyrics to take shots at the Lakers champion amid their apparent feud.

Drizzy's in Australia for his "Anita Max Wynn Tour" this week ... and when it came time to perform his track, "Nonstop," on Tuesday -- he notably revised a line that name-dropped the King.

The line usually goes, "How I go from 6 to 23 like I'm LeBron?" ... but instead, the 6ix God changed it to "but NOT LeBron."
