Luka Doncic 'Probably' Will Return Friday Versus Clippers

Luka Doncic said that he will "probably" return to the Los Angeles Lakers' lineup on Friday against the Los Angeles Clippers.

Doncic missed the Lakers' last four games leading up to the All-Star break with a mild hamstring strain.

Deandre Ayton is expected to return, with LeBron James also set to play.

JJ Redick added that Austin Reaves will no longer be on a minutes restriction.

Doncic, Reaves, and James have only played together in ten games this year.

"It's funny, we were talking before the season about building continuity with those three guys, and we've had them available together for 10 games," Redick said. "It's just the situation we're in. We're not the only team that has had a bunch of health issues throughout the season and had to manage that, but my message to the players this morning was that this is going to be a sprint for these last 28 games."
