Luka Dončić has been sidelined by a left finger sprain and lower leg contusion.

It turns out the only thing able to stop Lakers star Luka Dončić during the early part of the season has been injury: the Lakers announced Sunday that the 26-year-old was ruled out against the Kings with a left finger sprain and lower leg contusion.

He will be re-evaluated in a week’s time. Per multiple reports, the Lakers don’t expect the injury to linger.
