Fact Check: Did Luka Doncic get stuck in traffic in his Jordan brand wrapped Camaro?
Game 3 of the first-round playoff series between the Dallas Mavericks and LA Clippers is set to take place tonight. Luka Doncic, however, encountered a bit of a delay as he made his way to the arena. A few fans were surprised to see the star on the freeway still stuck in traffic on his way to their home game.
As a couple drove past a '68 Camaro wrapped in Jordan Brand "Midnight Racer" theme, upon closer inspection, they saw the Mavs star slowly inching onto the road as traffic took over.
Photos and videos recorded by fans prove that it was indeed Doncic on the road en route to the game.
Luckily for Mavs fans, there was no need to fret about waiting for Doncic to arrive at the arena. The team's X (formerly Twitter) account posted a video showing the star's arrival at the American Airlines Center.
The Slovenian star exited the car wearing a three-piece suit as he prepared for the playoff game.

What are some of Luka Doncic's best cars?
Like other NBA players, Luka Doncic loves to spend his money on expensive cars. The Mavs star's unique car collection has been a subject of admiration from many fans. Let's take a closer look at a few of them.
"Apocalypse Proof" Hellfire Jeep
Doncic isn't just fond of fancy supercars. One vehicle that stands out in his collection is the "Apocalypse Proof" Hellfire Jeep. It has six wheels and looks like it's ready to take on whatever challenge it faces. Fans have seen the star drive this monster vehicle before.
Zastava 750
The star has a unique taste when it comes to cars. Back when he was still playing in Europe, Doncic was gifted a tiny Zastava 750. At 6-foot-7, it would be a unique sight to see him get into the tiny vehicle.
1967 Ford Bronco
The Ford Bronco is a timeless classic, and Doncic owns a vintage 1967 model. It's ideal for towering figures like the Mavs star, who stand head and shoulders above others. In the photo above, it's clear that the car can comfortably accommodate even a 7-foot-3 center like Boban Majanović.
Porsche 911
Doncic achieved his dream of owning a Porsche 911 when he was drafted into the NBA. According to various reports, it's been his lifelong dream to own a Porsche, and he didn't waste any time in getting his own.
