Doncic funds restoration of vandalised Kobe Bryant mural

Rome, Apr 30 (LaPresse) – New Lakers star Luka Doncic has stepped in to cover the entire cost of restoring a mural of Kobe and Gigi Bryant that was recently defaced in downtown Los Angeles. On Tuesday, according to The Guardian, Doncic donated $5,000 to a GoFundMe fundraiser set up by artist Louie Palsino, creator of the Mambas Forever work at the corner of 14th Street and Main Street. β€˜It's always important to give something back to the community. They have given me so much, so I just want to give something back,’ Doncic said. The Slovenian guard arrived in LA after a trade from Dallas less than three months ago and has already helped lead the Lakers to the Division title and the third seed in the West. But with LA down 3-1 against Minnesota, the team faces elimination in game five on Wednesday night.
