The team announced that Doncic (lower left leg contusion) will be playing in their Christmas Day showdown against the Houston Rockets. Joining him on his return is Rui Hachimura (right groin injury management).
Doncic missed the Lakers' 132-108 loss against the Phoenix Suns last Tuesday after he suffered from a leg injury in last week's matchup against the LA Clippers.
Meanwhile, Hachimura has been inactive in the last three matches for Los Angeles after he sustained his groin issues from the previous week as well against the Utah Jazz.
Doncic's return to the Lakers' lineup would be huge, as the Slovenian sensation leads the NBA with 34.1 points along with 8.8 assists and 8.6 boards.
