The Los Angeles Lakers will be shorthanded when they visit the Phoenix Suns tomorrow after the team officially ruled out star guard Luka Dončić in its latest injury report.

Dončić will miss the matchup due to a left calf contusion sustained in the Lakers’ previous game against the Los Angeles Clippers. Head coach J.J. Redick earlier confirmed that the injury occurred after Dončić was kneed by Clippers guard Bogdan Bogdanović.

Lakers Injury Report vs Suns

Questionable:

• Austin Reaves (left calf strain)

Out:

• Luka Dončić (left calf contusion)

• Rui Hachimura (right groin soreness)

• Gabe Vincent (lower back strain)

Dončić has been dominant this season, playing 21 games and averaging 34.1 points, 8.1 rebounds, and 8.8 assists in 36.6 minutes per game, leading the NBA in scoring.

In a positive development for Los Angeles, Deandre Ayton—who missed the last two games—does not appear on the injury report, indicating he is expected to return for the matchup against Phoenix.
