Lakers’ Luka Doncic likely out at least one week with a sprained finger and a bruised leg

Sports

The Los Angeles Lakers say Luka Doncic is expected to be sidelined for at least one week because of a sprained finger on his left hand and a bruised lower left leg. Doncic had been off to a spectacular start to the season with back-to-back 40-point games for the Lakers, who play at Sacramento on Sunday night. He scored 43 points in the Lakers’ loss to Golden State on opening night, and he racked up 49 points in a victory over Minnesota last Friday night. Doncic scorched the Timberwolves despite spraining a finger on his non-shooting hand in the opening minutes.
