The Los Angeles Lakers will look to bounce back from a 135-117 loss to the Charlotte Hornets on Thursday when they travel to Portland to take on the Trail Blazers on Saturday night.
Unfortunately for L.A., they’ll be down a key contributor for the contest.
Luka Doncic ruled out vs. Blazers with groin soreness
Star guard Luka Doncic has been officially ruled out of the game due to left groin soreness. It’s the first game that Doncic will miss due to the injury. It remains to be seen if any other absences will follow.
In addition to Doncic, Austin Reaves (left calf strain) has also been ruled out of the game. Reaves has been sidelined since Christmas with the injury.
