The burning question that shakes the minds of all NBA fans can now be answered with some certainty. All recent reports from the immediate surroundings of Los Angeles Lakers assure that Luka Doncic will return to the team for the start of the second round of the NBA playoffs, if the Angelinos manage to qualify.
An untimely injury seemed to thwart Luka Doncic's hopes of being a postseason star. However, the good performance of his teammates gives solid reasons to believe that the Slovenian still has time to make his mark in these 2026 NBA playoffs. In recent hours, numerous reliable reports have emerged regarding the very real possibility of Doncic being available from the beginning of the series against the Thunder.
Eliminating the Rockets without him seemed complicated and everything indicates they can do it, but thinking that they could get rid of Oklahoma City Thunder without the Slovenian's participation is entirely unrealistic. Therefore, the management and coaching staff of Los Angeles Lakers hope to smoothly resolve the series against the Texans to confidently and with renewed energy face the series against the top favorites, knowing that Luka Doncic is a great trump card.
