  1D ago • By RotoWire

  Doncic left Saturday's game versus the Clippers with a left leg contusion and will not return, Tomer Azarly of ClutchPoints.com reports. The severity of the injury is unclear, but if there is some good news for the Lakers, it's that the team is off until Dec. 23. Dalton Knecht started the second half in his absence. Doncic finished with 12 points (4-13 FG, 1-6 3Pt, 3-5 FT), five rebounds and two assists in 20 minutes.

  3D ago • By RotoWire

  Doncic erupted for 45 points (14-28 FG, 4-12 3Pt, 13-16 FT), 11 rebounds, 14 assists and five steals over 40 minutes during Thursday's 143-135 win in Utah. Doncic was coming off a 7-for-25 shooting performance, but he got his points efficiently and plentifully Thursday evening, while matching his season-high in steals. This marked Doncic's first 40-point triple-double as a Laker, placing him alongside Elgin Baylor, Magic Johnson, and Jerry West as the only players in franchise history to accomplish the feat.

• Lakers' Luka Doncic: Scores inefficient 29 points

  6D ago • By RotoWire

  Doncic ended with 29 points (7-25 FG, 2-14 3Pt, 13-14 FT), three rebounds, six assists and one steal in 38 minutes during Sunday's 116-114 win over the Suns. Doncic struggled to shoot the ball from the floor Sunday, though his game-high 29 points were enough to lift the Lakers to victory. With Austin Reaves (calf) sidelined, Doncic should continue to handle the heavy lifting offensively. The superstar guard has averaged 34.5 points, 8.8 assists, 8.4 rebounds, 1.3 steals and 0.7 blocks per game in his last 11 outings.

• Lakers' Luka Doncic: Pops for 35 points in loss

  11D ago • By RotoWire

  Doncic finished Wednesday's 132-119 loss to the Spurs with 35 points (11-24 FG, 3-8 3Pt, 10-14 FT), five rebounds, eight assists and one steal over 41 minutes. Doncic recorded his seventh game this season with at least 14 free-throw attempts and his 14th game scoring at least 30 points. While his efforts were not enough to secure a win in the NBA Cup quarterfinals, his presence was definitely missed, as he was out for the two games in Toronto and Boston for personal reasons. Doncic has scored at least 30 points in nine straight appearances, averaging 36.3 points, 9.1 rebounds, 8.8 assists, 1.2 steals, 0.8 blocks and 3.7 threes across 37.4 minutes in that span.

  14D ago • By RotoWire

  Doncic logged 31 points (9-24 FG, 2-9 3Pt, 11-14 FT) 15 rebounds, 11 assists and two blocks in 38 minutes during Sunday's 112-108 win over the 76ers. Doncic missed the two games previous to Sunday due to personal reasons, but he returned to the lineup in outstanding form, setting a season-high in rebounds and recording his second triple-double of the season. Doncic has now recorded at least 30 points in each of his last eight appearances. Despite an all-around stellar performance, one area where the star guard struggled Sunday was from beyond the arc, where he shot just 22 percent, his lowest mark over his last six contests.
