So, regarding whether Luka Doncic is playing tonight vs. the Bucks, the Lakers shouldn't risk putting their star centerpiece out there if he's at risk for further injury. However, they'll have a tough time competing if they rule him out with James, Rui Hachimura, and Jaxson Hayes already sidelined.

The Los Angeles Lakers released their injury report for Thursday’s game against the Milwaukee Bucks and Dorian Finney-Smith (left ankle soreness) is not on it, signaling he will return after a one-game absence. Luka Doncic (right ankle soreness) is questionable while Jaxson Hayes (right knee contusion) is out.
