Luka Doncic Out at Least a Week
Los Angeles Lakers guard Luka Doncic (finger, leg) won't play on Sunday versus the Sacramento Kings. In addition, he'll miss upcoming games against the Portland Trail Blazers, Minnesota Timberwolves, and Memphis Grizzlies because of a sprained left finger along with a lower left leg contusion. Doncic will be reevaluated in seven days, so there's a chance he may be out longer. The 26-year-old has looked fantastic, averaging 46.0 points, 11.5 rebounds, 8.5 assists, and 1.0 steals in the first two contests of the 2025 campaign. It's possible the Lakers are being overly cautious with Doncic, considering he's battled multiple injuries throughout his career. With LeBron James (back) also sidelined, the team will likely turn to Austin Reaves to pick things up on the scoring end. Rui Hachimura, Deandre Ayton, Jake LaRavia, and Gabe Vincent may also see an uptick in production sporadically while Doncic is on the shelf.
