The boy claimed his doctor told him to watch Luka Doncic play to help him with his seizures

Dallas Mavericks’ luminary Luka Doncic brought immeasurable joy to a young boy battling epilepsy, who claims to have gone nine months without a seizure while watching him play.

Prior to the Mavericks’ home game against the Brooklyn Nets on Thursday night, Dallas assistant coach Darrell Armstrong noticed a boy holding a vibrant sign declaring, “My doc said watching Luka helps my epilepsy! 9 months no seizures!”

Moved by the message, Armstrong escorted the boy named Brayden Whitley out of the crowd and onto the court to meet Doncic himself, who was warming up before the game.

“Am I going to meet Luka?” Brayden is heard asking in a video shared by Dorothy Gentry of The Athletic. “I’m actually gonna meet Luka?”

Brayden then shook hands with the NBA star, currently the leading vote-getter for the upcoming NBA All-Star Game, before the two posed for a photo.

Furthermore, after the Mavericks triumphed over the Nets 123-111, Doncic generously gifted Brayden his game-worn sneakers.

“As players, we gotta connect with the fans somehow, you know, you’re never going to connect with everyone, it’s really hard,” he remarked, as reported by CBS Sports.

“But when you see those kids, I want to make everything possible… to give them something. This was a pleasure for me,” he continued.

Doncic’s boss, Mavericks’ owner Mark Cuban, commended Armstrong and Doncic after the matchup.

“It’s not just a business,” he stated in a tweet. “It’s not just a game. It’s a connection. Well done DA and @luka7doncic #ThisIsWhyWePlay.”
