Luka Doncic will not play on Friday in Denver, joining Lebron James on the LaKers injury list

Luka Doncic will not play against Denver Nuggets on Friday night, along with Lebron James on the long list of unavailable players in Los Angeles Lakers.

Lakers drove the star guard on the second evening of the rear games due to the management of left calf and a right ankle sprain.

“Yes, just the nature of a bunch of guys dealing with wounds and program. We can’t do much about it, “said JJ Redick coach.” But we will try to win a basketball game. “

The son of James, Bronny, was at hand after being reminded of the G. Rodk League said he would be available against Nuggets, but his minutes will be limited because he did not feel good.

“He is a little under the weather, and the altitude is significant here,” said Reck. “We will only monitor him in terms of his fatigue and we could play in shorter explosions and, honestly, it could be a good thing for him just to go out. I think his level of comfort on both the ball and outside G and then also in the minutes he had in the last two appearances with us, he looked sharp. “

Doncic had the biggest game with Lakers on Thursday, marking 45 points and taking 11 recovery in a loss of 126-106 in Milwaukee.

James is missing the third game with a left groin stem and has already returned to Los Angeles with Rui Hagimura (left patellar tendinopathy) and Jaxson Hayes (right knee.

Also, Dorian Finney-Smith and Gabe Vincent are both listed as doubtful to rest in his ankle.

Nuggets’s coach Michael Malone said Aaron Gordon (wide -right ankle) will play against Lakers.
