Report: Luka Doncic debut pushed back to Monday vs. Jazz
Briefly

Luka Dončić's highly anticipated Lakers debut has been postponed to Monday due to his preparation from a left calf strain. After reports initially suggested he would start against the Pacers, the decision was made to push his comeback back following a delay in his 5-on-5 practice. The Lakers are prioritizing Luka's health as they approach the All-Star break. Fans are eager to see him in action, particularly at Crypto.com Arena, during back-to-back games against the Jazz before the mid-season break.
However, I have just been able to confirm that Luka Doncic, who many people thought...he was trying to make his debut with the Lakers on Saturday, since he has not played 5-on-5 yet since injuring that left calf on Christmas and they're pushing that 5-on-5 to [Friday], they've just talked with Luka and decided he is going to make his Lakers debut on home against Utah.
Longtime NBA writer Marc Stein was the first to report that Luka was targeting Monday against the Utah Jazz for his return from a left calf strain.
