"Earlier in the week, before the Lakers' 124-112 loss to the Sacramento Kings on Monday, Doncic said he "felt something" in his groin area while warming up, but played nonetheless -- receiving treatment on his inner leg during the game. He scored 42 points against the Kings with 8 assists and 7 rebounds and then played the next night in the Lakers' rousing 141-116 win over the Atlanta Hawks, when he put up 27 points, 12 assists and 5 rebounds after being a game-time decision."
"Doncic leads the league in scoring with 33.6 points per game and is the Western Conference's leading vote getter through two rounds of All-Star ballot returns. Despite his personal success in his first full season with the Lakers after last February's shocking trade from the Dallas Mavericks, the Lakers are in a bit of a tailspin, losing eight of their last 13 games to drop to No. 5 in the West."
Luka Doncic will miss Saturday's game against the Portland Trail Blazers because of left groin soreness. He scored 39 points in a loss to the Charlotte Hornets after earlier saying he felt something in his groin while warming up before the Kings game and receiving inner-leg treatment. He produced 42 points against the Kings and 27 points with 12 assists in the following win over Atlanta. Doncic leads the league with 33.6 points per game and is the West's top All-Star vote getter. The Lakers have lost eight of 13 games and have slipped to fifth in the Western Conference. Backup center Jaxson Hayes is questionable Saturday with left hamstring tendinopathy.
