Luka Doncic’s Sudden Absence from Lakers’ Preseason Sparks Speculation—What’s Really Going On?
Luka Doncic won’t be gracing the court for the Lakers’ upcoming preseason matchups, a move that caught quite a few fans by surprise after Friday’s team shoot-around. The dynamic star is giving the legs a breather against the Phoenix Suns in Palm Desert and then again facing the Golden State Warriors in San Francisco this weekend. It’s not just a whim—L.A.’s performance squad and Luka have mapped out this strategy carefully, considering the heavy slate he carried with Slovenia in EuroBasket this summer. It’s a classic case of playing the long game as the regular season countdown ticks toward its October 21 launch at Crypto.com Arena. Meanwhile, several other key Lakers—like LeBron James and Marcus Smart—are also sitting these out due to their own injuries. With Luka admitting his offseason was a whirlwind, the “slow and steady” mantra seems like the smart play to keep him fresh for the marquee battles ahead. Curious about how this shapes the Lakers’ path forward?
