PHOENIX -- The Los Angeles Lakers have a lengthy injury report heading into tomorrow night's matchup against the Phoenix Suns at Mortgage Matchup Center highlighted by Luka Doncic. Doncic will be out with a lower left leg contusion after leaving the Lakers' 103-88 loss to the Los Angeles Clippers Saturday with the injury.

The Lakers (19-8) are back again in Phoenix where they will play the Suns (15-13) for the third time this month. L.A. looks to gain a 2-1 record advantage against its division rivals and to bounce back after a tough loss to the Clippers.

EL SEGUNDO — Lakers star Luka Doncic’s status is considered “day-to-day” after he was diagnosed with a lower left leg contusion, coach JJ Redick told reporters on Monday. Doncic was seen with a wrap around his lower leg during Monday’s practice.

The Suns and Lakers have split their first two games, with Phoenix winning 125-108 in Los Angeles on Dec. 1. They’ll play each other two more times this 2025-26 regular season, on Feb. 26 in Phoenix and April 10 in Los Angeles.

Most basketball fans remember Don Nelson as a longtime head coach in the NBA, but some may not know he had a relatively long playing career in the league as well. The Chicago Zephyrs (now the Washington Wizards) took him in the third round of the 1962 draft, and a year later, he joined the Lakers.

Lakers head coach JJ Redick shared that Luka Doncic is listed as day-to-day after suffering a lower leg contusion against the Clippers.
