Luka Doncic’s Availability for Lakers vs. Clippers
After securing a 111-102 victory over the Minnesota Timberwolves on Thursday night, the Los Angeles Lakers extended their winning streak to four games. Luka Doncic, who was recently acquired from the Dallas Mavericks in a blockbuster trade, delivered another impressive performance with 21 points, 13 rebounds, and five assists. However, the Lakers have little time to celebrate as they prepare for a tough back-to-back matchup against the Los Angeles Clippers.
Lakers Remain Cautious with Luka Doncic
Since arriving in Los Angeles, the Lakers have been carefully managing Doncic’s workload, given that he missed six weeks earlier in the season due to a calf injury. Although his minutes restriction was lifted after the All-Star break, the team remains cautious about his fitness and game availability.
Following the win over the Timberwolves, Doncic revealed that he is questionable for Friday’s showdown against the Clippers.
“Luka Doncic says he will be questionable for tomorrow’s game against the Clippers,” ESPN’s Dave McMenamin reported on X (formerly Twitter).
Lakers Face Crucial Decision Ahead of Back-to-Back
The Lakers must weigh the risk of playing Doncic in consecutive games as they push to maintain momentum in the highly competitive Western Conference playoff race. His status for the Clippers game will be closely monitored, and updates are expected before tip-off.
Stay tuned for more updates on Luka Doncic’s injury status and the Lakers’ upcoming games.
