Luka Doncic is off the injury report, which means he’s ready to play and possibly drop a monster game on Yaxel Lendeborg, who called him out after the season opener.
Doncic was dealing with back tightness, so the Lakers opted to give him a rest in the second game of a back-to-back.
The four players on the Lakers’ injury report are Walker Kessler, Ziaire Williams, Cameron Carr and Adou Thiero.

Kessler is listed as available. He is on the injury report because he’s dealing with a left finger injury suffered in training camp. He’s wearing a splint on his finger but is ready to play.
Williams is tagged as questionable because of a left foot and left heel injury. He will be re-evaluated before tip-off. He could be downgraded to out or upgraded to available, depending on how he feels during shootaround.
Carr and Thiero remain out due to a strained right oblique and an injured left knee, respectively. The rookie was recently sent to the NBA G League, so his return is imminent.
Thiero, on the other hand, is considered day-to-day.
