Los Angeles Lakers: Latest Update on Luka Doncic's Injury

Luka Doncic, star of the Los Angeles Lakers, has been diagnosed with a bruise on his left calf and his condition is day-to-day, as reported by the team's coach, JJ Redick, on Monday.

Doncic left early in Saturday's 103-88 loss to the Los Angeles Clippers after the knock. The point guard did not return to the court after halftime, and on Monday, he was seen with a bulky bandage on his left leg after training.

The injury occurred when Bogdan Bogdanovic collided with his knee on Doncic's left calf. Redick explained that this type of contact has occurred several times throughout the season and mentioned that the coaching staff is considering possible measures to better protect the player's legs in future collisions.

The Lakers now face a road trip with a game on Tuesday against the Phoenix Suns and will return home on Thursday to host the Houston Rockets in the Christmas Day game.

On the medical front, Austin Reaves, who has missed the last three games due to a mild strain in his left calf, participated in training in a limited capacity and is also considered day-to-day. In the same situation is Rui Hachimura, absent against the Clippers due to a strain in his right groin.

Positive news for the Lakers

The positive note came with the return to training of center Deandre Ayton, who had missed the last two games due to discomfort in his left elbow. Ayton explained that the issue originated in the last game against the Suns, in a rebounding action with center Mark Williams, where he slightly hyperextended his elbow.
