After Luka Doncic scored 49 points in the Lakers’ 128-110 win over the Minnesota Timberwolves on Friday — shattering Jerry West’s 56-year franchise record of 81 points scored through the first two games of a season — his teammate Austin Reaves was asked a question. Could Doncic, who has scored 92 points this season, average 40? “Yes,” Reaves told ESPN. Could Doncic average 40 and would it help the team win? “Yes,” Reaves continued. “He’s so good, it’s weird.” ESPN | Oct. 25, 2025

After playing a game-high 41 minutes in the Los Angeles Lakers‘ 119-109 opening night loss to the Golden State Warriors on Tuesday, Luka Doncic spent even more time in the training room receiving treatment after the game on the inside of his right leg. “It’s probably nothing,” Doncic said after emerging to the postgame news conference nearly an hour and a half after the final buzzer. “Just felt it a little bit because my hip went [the opposite] way. Felt it a little bit, but it’s probably nothing.” ESPN | Oct. 22, 2025

Dave McMenamin: JJ Redick on Luka Doncic’s groin discomfort late in the Warriors loss: “He seems to be fine. I don’t think it’s anything major. He got some treatment this morning and we didn’t practice long, but he was a participant in practice.” x.com | Oct. 22, 2025
