Luka Doncic did his best Santa Claus impression Wednesday — throwing a surprise party for pediatric patients in Dallas … while doling out a bunch of gifts!!
The Mavericks superstar planned and funded the special day for kids at the Scottish Rite for Children medical facility … and check out all the pics and vids — the tots loved it!
While Luka couldn’t be there in person — he had a game against the Cavaliers to prepare for — he made sure around 200 patients got NERF basketball hoops, NERF blasters, Jordan Brand apparel and some chess-themed goodies.

He also made sure the patients had a day filled with cookie decorating, face painting, photo booths, hot cocoa and more.
“I hope this makes them happy and puts a smile on their face,” Luka said of the afternoon. “They are so brave and strong, and I want them to know I’m thinking of them during the holidays and wishing them all the best in the New Year!”
Luka brought gifts for 25 health care workers, too — hooking them up with lower-bowl tickets to the Mavs’ Christmas Day game against the L.A. Lakers.

Of course, the amazing charity work is nothing new for the 23-year-old … just last year, he sent a bunch of gifts and autographs to patients in Ljubljana as well.
