Notably, the star dropped a 51-pointer on a losing cause. The issue didn’t end there. LaVine’s consistent performance, resulting in losing cause, ignited trade rumors in the NBA world. Moreover, to back the trade rumors, a recent gesture from the 28-year-old star sparked opinions from the fans.

The star has recorded an average of 21.9 points so far in the season, helmed as the scoring leader for the team.
