Good news for the Los Angeles Lakers: Luka Doncic could soon return to the court. The guard has been reclassified as "questionable" for Friday's match against the Memphis Grizzlies, indicating a positive progression in the injuries that have kept him out of action in recent games.

Doncic had been dealing with a sprained finger on his left hand and a bruise on the leg on the same side, physical issues that forced him to stop just when the team needed his leadership the most. According to journalist Brett Siegel (ClutchPoints), his presence on the doubtful list is the first step towards his comeback, although the final decision will be made just hours before the NBA Cup game.

This contrasts with the situation of LeBron James, who will remain absent for a longer period. Also sidelined are Maxi Kleber, Gabe Vincent, and Aduo Thiero, while Marcus Smart is uncertain due to a bruise on his right quadriceps.

Austin Reaves, temporary savior

Amidst the absences, Austin Reaves has taken the spotlight with a series of memorable performances. The guard has delivered two consecutive games with over 40 points and capped off his great moment with a game-winning shot against the Minnesota Timberwolves on Wednesday night. His performance has been crucial in keeping the Lakers competitive in the absence of their key players.
