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.
