Luka Doncic Injury: Out against Portland

Doncic (rest) will not play Monday against Portland, according to NBA reporter Marc Stein.

After logging 38 minutes Sunday against the Heat with 29 points (9-22 FG, 1-11 3Pt, 10-12 FT), 11 rebounds, 10 assists and three steals, Doncic is being held out of the second leg of this back-to-back set as a precaution. Look for him to return to the lineup Wednesday against the Spurs. With Austin Reaves (groin) also out, the Lakers are going to be very thin in the backcourt, pushing a lot of responsibility onto Marcus Smart.
