Reeling with injuries, the Lakers will be without Doncic due to left calf injury management and a sprained right ankle

The Los Angeles Lakers released their injury report for Thursday’s game against the Milwaukee Bucks and Dorian Finney-Smith (left ankle soreness) is not on it, signaling he will return after a one-game absence. Luka Doncic (right ankle soreness) is questionable while Jaxson Hayes (right knee contusion) is out.

Despite a bit of a slow start to his Lakers tenure, Doncic has found his groove. In the first half against Milwaukee, the Slovenian native became just the third player in Lakers history to record 25+ points, 5+ rebounds, and 5+ three-point field goals made in a single half. Only James and Kobe Bryant have achieved this feat in a Lakers uniform.
