US EditionLakers star Luka Doncic to miss Saturday's game at Portland
- Friday, the Los Angeles Lakers announced that Luka Doncic will miss Saturday's game in Portland because of left groin soreness.
- Earlier in the week, Luka Doncic said he 'felt something' in his groin while warming up before Monday's game and received treatment during play, yet he played in a 141 win over the Atlanta Hawks and a 135-117 loss to the Charlotte Hornets on Thursday.
- The Lakers have dropped eight of their past 13 games, with Jaxson Hayes questionable Saturday and Deandre Ayton newly added to the injury report.
- The Lakers hope to have Doncic back Sunday at home against the Toronto Raptors before a meeting with the Denver Nuggets two days later, though his absence worsens their injury and depth issues.
- Playing in his first full season with the Lakers after last February's trade, Luka Doncic's missed games raise doubts about the team's title hopes amid defensive struggles.
