Lakers Notes: Doncic, Grimes, Mamukelashvili, Carr

Luka Doncic has been on a tear to start the season, averaging 39.3 points, 7.8 rebounds, and 7.9 assists while leading the Lakers to a 10-2 record and the top seed in the West coming into Wednesday’s slate of games.

While he’s leading the league in scoring, there are other boxes he will likely have to check if he wants to earn his first MVP award, Eric Pincus writes for Bleacher Report.

Leading the Lakers to a better record than the Spurs and Thunder would go a long way towards making his case, a job that has gotten slightly easier given the injuries Oklahoma City has dealt with so far this season.
