Los Angeles Lakers superstar Luka Doncic came back early and instantly went off after being ruled out for one week with finger and leg injuries. He missed just five days and picked up right where he left off to start the season. Number 77 had a 44-point double-double in a 117-112 win over the Memphis Grizzlies to open the 2025 NBA Cup.
Fans were filled with dread when Luka’s injury was announced. LeBron James still hasn’t played this season, and everyone knows how difficult the Western Conference is. Thankfully, Austin Reaves went to another level with the two superstars out as the Lakers won two of the three games.
