Luka Doncic News, Rumors, Updates - Los Angeles Lakers

Pours in 39 points Doncic ended with 39 points (15-26 FG, 6-11 3Pt, 3-7 FT), three rebounds and four assists over 36 minutes during Thursday's 135-117 loss to the Hornets.

Impact Doncic did have an injury scare when he went back to the locker room holding his back, though he returned for the final stretch and seemed to be fine. For now, it doesn't appear that he's in jeopardy of missing Saturday's game versus Portland where the Lakers will be looking to end their cold spell -- they have lost four of their last five games.
