Los Angeles Lakers star Luka Doncic expressed a "next man up" mentality with LeBron James out at least 3-4 weeks due to injury.
Doncic, the No. 1 option for the Lakers, will have elevated responsibilities with James' absence due to a sciatica on his right side.
The Lakers have new additions, including Deandre Ayton, Jake LaRavia, and Marcus Smart, who should help make Doncic's life easier.
“It’s a big change,”
said the All-NBA guard after practice on Saturday, discussing the team's plan to make up for LeBron's absence.
