Read more: Lakers’ Luka Doncic Reveals Injury Update After Loss to Warriors Doncic said after the game that the injury was “probably nothing,” adding that he “just felt it a little bit because my hip went [the opposite] way. Felt it a little bit, but it’s probably nothing.” On Wednesday, after the Lakers’ practice, Redick spoke to reporters and had an update on Doncic. “He seems to be fine,” Redick said, via ESPN’s Dave McMenamin. “I don’t think it’s anything major. He got some treatment this morning and we didn’t practice long, but he was a participant in practice.” More news: Lakers Insider Provides Concerning LeBron James Update LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA – OCTOBER 21: Luka Doncic #77 of the Los Angeles Lakers drives the ball against Jonathan Kuminga #1 of the Golden State Warriors in the first quarter of the game at Crypto.com Arena on October 21, 2025 in Los Angeles, California.

Doncic went for 43 points on 17-of-27 shooting from the field, adding 12 rebounds and nine assists. His only struggles came from behind the 3-point line, as he shot 2-of-10 from deep. Nevertheless, he almost singlehandedly kept LA in the game — one in which they were severely outplayed in the second half.

The Timberwolves are taking on the Portland Trail Blazers on the road on Wednesday night before traveling to Los Angeles for Friday’s contest. Doncic appears to be the only Laker who came out of Tuesday’s game with any health issues. Thus, it should be a similar rotation for the Lakers as they’ll be without LeBron James, Maxi Kleber and Adou Thiero as they look to get their first win of the new season.
