Luka Doncic returned to action on Friday night and immediately picked up where he left off before getting injured, leading the Los Angeles Lakers to a road win over the Memphis Grizzlies to kick off Emirates NBA Cup group play action.
Doncic scored a game-high 44 points to help the Lakers move to 4-2 on the season, which is an impressive record considering how many key players have been out with injuries.
In Doncic’s absence, Austin Reaves picked up the slack as he logged a 51-point game, 41-point game, 16-assist game and a buzzer-beat to keep the Lakers afloat.
