Will Luka Doncic Play Against the Bulls? Latest Injury Update

The Los Angeles Lakers will host the Chicago Bulls on Saturday night as the Bulls continue their five-game road trip in the Western Conference, facing one of their toughest challenges of the season.

The Lakers are coming off a defeat against the Milwaukee Bucks, but they were without LeBron James, Luka Doncic, and Austin Reaves. As they prepare for Saturday’s matchup with the Bulls, they may have all three players back in the lineup.

Luka Doncic is listed as probable for Saturday’s game against the Bulls due to a right ankle sprain.

Doncic, who was traded to the Lakers before the February deadline, has significantly boosted the team. In 16 games with Los Angeles, he has averaged 26.5 points, 8.8 rebounds, 8.0 assists, and 1.9 steals, though he has already missed six games.

Doncic is anticipated to return alongside James on Saturday. James, who has been out for the past seven games due to a groin strain, has been upgraded to questionable for the first time since his injury. The pairing of James and Doncic has transformed the Lakers into title contenders, making their return to the court together a top priority for the team.

With James and Doncic likely returning, the Bulls could face a tough challenge, but the Lakers must remain cautious. Chicago has won six of their last eight games and will be aiming for another upset victory on Saturday.

The Lakers and Bulls will meet at 10:30 p.m. EST on Saturday in Los Angeles.
