Lakers Preseason Updates: Luka Doncic To Play In 2 Games, Marcus Smart To Make Debut Vs. Warriors

Lakers Preseason Updates

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 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.

Notable players, including Luka Doncic, Marcus Smart, Maxi Kleber, and Adou Thiero, have missed the first two preseason games due to minor injuries or caution after a EuroBasket run.

The Lakers are choosing to be cautious with Doncic coming off a EuroBasket run with Slovenia this past summer.

The team will use the remaining preseason games to build chemistry before the regular season starts.
