Luka Doncic shares emotional moment with young epileptic fan during pre-game warm-up

Dallas Mavericks star Luka Doncic shared a heartwarming moment with a young fan suffering from epilepsy before the Nets vs Mavericks game on Thursday night (Friday morning IST). It was the Mavericks' assistant coach Darrell Armstrong, who brought the young fan to Doncic after seeing the kid hold up a sign talking about his condition and recovery. According to the sign, the child has been seizure-free for nine months and watching Luka Doncic play helps with his epilepsy. Armstrong then proceeded to help the kid walk up to Doncic, who then took a photo with him. The Mavericks won their game against the Nets 123-111. Doncic finished with 31 points and 13 rebounds.
