Luka Doncic won't play against the Denver Nuggets on Friday night, joining LeBron James on the Los Angeles Lakers' lengthy list of unavailable players. The Lakers ruled the star guard out on the second night of back-to-back games because of left calf injury management and a right ankle sprain.

The LA Lakers superstar put in a starring performance against the Bucks on Thursday, one of the most complete in franchise history.

As Doncic and his teammates are getting acclimated to each other, their improved chemistry is leading to results in the form of seven consecutive victories.
