Los Angeles Lakers star guard Luka Dončić left the team's loss Saturday, Dec. 20 against the Clippers with a left leg contusion.

Los Angeles Lakers teammates Luka Dončić and Austin Reaves have a unique friendship where they routinely make fun of one another in jest, something that's been apparent during numerous interviews.

The Lakers get their Christmas gift wrapped with a good news on Luka Dončić's injury recovery following a lower leg contusion.

Earlier on Monday, Lakers coach JJ Redick said Dončić was considered day-to-day with the injury, but he was ruled out later that day. Dončić missed the second half of Saturday’s game after he was “hobbling” at the end of the first half, Redick said.

The NBA's leading scorer impressed teammate LeBron James with his 45 points, 11 rebounds and 14 assists Thursday night.

The Lakers shared a critical update on Luka Dončić after the star guard suffered a lower leg injury against the Clippers.

Los Angeles Lakers superstar Luka Dončić may only miss one game with his leg injury, according to NBA insider Dave McMenamin of ESPN. Dončić won’t play against the Phoenix Suns on Tuesday (12/23), but he could face the Houston Rockets on Christmas (12/25).

Kawhi Leonard scored a season-high 32 points, leading the slumping Los Angeles Clippers to a 103-88 win over the Los Angeles Lakers.

This isn't just James vs. Durant. It's Luka Dončić vs. Alperen Sengun. It's Austin Reaves vs. Amen Thompson. It's two of the Western Conference elite slugging it out with major playoff standing implications at stake.
