Luka Dončić is questionable for Christmas Day after missing the Lakers' 132-108 road loss on Tuesday to the Suns because of a lower left leg contusion. Dončić has missed eight games and still leads the NBA in scoring at 34.1 points a game.
The Lakers get their Christmas gift wrapped with a good news on Luka Dončić's injury recovery following a lower leg contusion.
Los Angeles Lakers star guard Luka Dončić left the team's loss Saturday, Dec. 20 against the Clippers with a left leg contusion.
Earlier on Monday, Lakers coach JJ Redick said Dončić was considered day-to-day with the injury, but he was ruled out later that day. Dončić missed the second half of Saturday’s game after he was “hobbling” at the end of the first half, Redick said.
The Lakers ruled out Dončić with a left-leg contusion just before the start of the second half. The severity of the injury and a timeline for Dončić's return weren't initially clear. The Clippers won Saturday's game, 103-88.
Los Angeles Lakers star Luka Doncic suffered a left leg contusion during Saturday's loss to the Clippers. This injury casts doubt on his availability for upcoming games, including Tuesday's matchup against the Phoenix Suns.
Kawhi Leonard scored a season-high 32 points, leading the slumping Los Angeles Clippers to a 103-88 win over the Los Angeles Lakers.
The NBA's leading scorer impressed teammate LeBron James with his 45 points, 11 rebounds and 14 assists Thursday night.
LeBron James scores 23 and Austin Reaves has 17 points in 22 minutes in his return from a calf injury, but the Suns score 62 points in the paint and shoot 59% to hand the Lakers a 132-108 defeat.
