Round 5: Tossup 6

Note to players: description acceptable. This event occurred without input from a man who had previously claimed that he would rather divorce his wife than do it. At a press conference after this event, Rick Welts recalled a similar event involving Monta (15[1])(“MON-tay”) Ellis. A slew of injuries to players like Daniel Gafford and Dante (-5[1])Exum caused speculation that this event had (*) cursed one of the teams involved. The crowd at Crypto.com Arena chanted “thank (10[1])you, (10[1]-5[1])Nico!” at a (10[1])game where (10[2])one player involved in this (10[1])event recorded a triple-double (-5[1])against his old (-5[1])team. For 10 points, describe this blockbuster trade in which the (-5[1])Lakers sent Anthony Davis to the Mavericks for a Slovenian superstar. (10[5]0[2])■END■
