The Los Angeles Lakers will play Luka Doncic in two preseason games, while Marcus Smart will make his debut against the Golden State Warriors.
After a week off, the Lakers will return to the court on Sunday night, hosting the Warriors at Crypto.com Arena. The team has four preseason games left, which will be their final tuneups before the regular season.
The Lakers have been cautious with Doncic, who recently played in EuroBasket with Slovenia, while other players like Marcus Smart, Maxi Kleber, and Adou Thiero have been dealing with minor injuries.
The team is looking to build chemistry, but so far, they have not had much time on the court together due to these absences.
