Luka Doncic went from playing some of the best basketball of his life to boarding a flight to Europe in the span of a few days. Now, the Los Angeles Lakers have an early update on where his recovery stands.<\/p>\n
According to Slovenian outlet Epika<\/a>, Doncic has already wrapped up his first round of treatment in Spain. The outlet reported that “Doncic has already completed the first series of therapies,” and that he then traveled briefly to Ljubljana to spend time with his two daughters before the next phase begins.<\/p>\n The Lakers signed off on all of it. The trip to Slovenia was not a detour, it was part of the plan. A player who is mentally checked in recovers better, and with the playoffs days away, the Lakers need Doncic locked in on both fronts when he returns.<\/p>\n After Ljubljana, Doncic heads back to Madrid for a second series of therapies. From there, Epika reports he will fly to Los Angeles, where he is expected “midweek or immediately upon entering his second half.”<\/p>\n With the playoffs starting April 18, the Lakers are counting on this aggressive approach to get their best player back in time.<\/p>\n Sign up to our\u00a0free newsletter<\/a>\u00a0and follow us on\u00a0YouTube<\/a>,\u00a0Facebook<\/a>,\u00a0X\/Twitter<\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0Instagram<\/a>\u00a0for the latest news.<\/p>\n
