Ruling Doncic out on the second night of a back-to-back, Los Angeles left Bronny James off the injury report. This is despite the South Bay Lakers playing a home game the same night, which would usually be when Los Angeles assigns James to the G League.

Luka Doncic's start with the Los Angeles Lakers has been less than inspiring. Through three games, two before the All-Star break and one after, he's averaging just 14.7 PPG, 6.7 RPG, and 5.3 APG while shooting 35.

Though Kyrie Irving stayed put at this year's NBA trade deadline, the team around him changed drastically. In one of the biggest trades in NBA history, the Dallas Mavericks sent Luka Dončić to the Los Angeles Lakers in return for Anthony Davis.
