Luka Doncic out for Sunday's game against the Detroit Pistons
- On Sunday, Nov. 8, the Los Angeles Lakers started Quentin Grimes against the Detroit Pistons after Luka Doncic was ruled out with lower-back tightness. Head coach JJ Redick selected Grimes over Collin Sexton to fill the All-NBA star's spot.
- Doncic was listed as questionable on Saturday, Nov. 7 before being ruled out, marking his second absence this season due to back issues. The 27-year-old carries a history of similar injuries during the 2019, 2021, and 2024 seasons.
- The early MVP favorite is averaging 40.1 points per game during the Lakers' 8-2 start to the season. Redick moved Austin Reaves to point guard to maintain the team's offensive rhythm without Doncic.
- To bolster depth for the four-game road trip, the Lakers recalled Bronny James and rookie Cameron Carr from the G-League on Saturday. Both players could see increased minutes during the extended road stretch.
- Los Angeles faces the Atlanta Hawks tomorrow, and the team may exercise caution regarding Doncic's return. The injury is not expected to be a lingering issue despite his history with back problems.
