In six and a half seasons with the Mavericks, Donic was five times All-Star and a member of the first All-NBA team, leading the team to the NBA 2024 final. In early February, Donic was exchanged at the Los Angeles Lakers for Anthony Davis as part of a transfer to three teams involving UTAH jazz.

Dononic and the Lakers bowed against the Chicago Bulls on Saturday and face the Orlando magic. Henry also made him talk about him on Thursday evening during the Nations League match between the USMNT and Panama, when Cecilio Waterman celebrated his victorious goal by jumping on the set of CBS and hugging Henry in his arms.
