Sunday begins a four-game road trip. Los Angeles plays the Atlanta Hawks on Monday, the Milwaukee Bucks on Wednesday and the Phoenix Suns next Sunday.
This is Doncic’s second absence this season because of lower back tightness. He missed a game in a back-to-back set earlier this season. The Lakers defeated the LA Clippers 103–87 in that contest.
The Detroit Pistons announced that All-Star center Jalen Duren — out since last month with a right hamstring strain — will undergo reevaluation in two weeks.
