Lakers' Luka Doncic Likely Out at Least One Week with a Sprained Finger and a Bruised Leg
Luka Doncic will miss at least four games with a left finger sprain and lower leg contusion after scoring 49 points in the Lakers' recent win, team officials said.
- On Sunday the Los Angeles Lakers announced five-time All-NBA First Team guard Luka Doncic will miss at least one week with a left finger sprain and lower left leg contusion, and he will be reevaluated in approximately one week.
- During Friday's blowout revenge win over the Minnesota Timberwolves, Doncic sprained his left finger and suffered a lower left-leg contusion in the 128-110 game at Crypto.com Arena.
- Doncic had been off to a spectacular start with back-to-back 40-point games and is sidelined for at least one week with injuries, joining LeBron James on the Lakers' injury list.
- The Lakers must lean heavily on Austin Reaves while backup center Jaxson Hayes is ruled out for Sunday's road meeting, with Doncic missing at least four upcoming tilts, three road games.
- With six games in the next nine days, pressure mounts on the Lakers’ depleted roster as Sunday’s Sacramento Kings should be fairly beatable, but Portland Trail Blazers and Memphis Grizzlies present tougher challenges.
