Bitter setback for the Los Angeles Lakers: According to consistent media reports, Luka Doncic will miss the upcoming games due to a sprain of his left ring finger and a bruise on his left lower leg. The point guard is scheduled to be re-examined in about a week.
According to ESPN , the Californians hope that Doncic’s absence will not last longer than a week. Four games are scheduled in the next seven days: against the Sacramento Kings, Portland Trail Blazers, Minnesota Timberwolves and Memphis Grizzlies.
Serious loss for the Lakers
The loss is significant: Without the still injured LeBron James, the Lakers are now also missing their currently best scorer. Doncic averaged a spectacular 46 points in the first two season games – a historic start that has been temporarily halted.
The Lakers have additional concerns with big man Jaxson Hayes. The center is dealing with pain in his left knee and is already missing his second consecutive game.
