The Lakers are heading into the final stretch of the season in a much better spot than in past years. But let’s be real—things look completely different now. Swapping out Anthony Davis for Luka Doncic before the trade deadline didn’t just tweak the roster—it changed everything. A dominant big man out, a superstar guard in? That’s a whole new game plan.
The Lakers haven’t let Doncic go full throttle just yet. He’s played both games against Utah, but with a minutes restriction in place, they’re easing him back into rhythm. Across those two matchups, he’s clocked just 47 minutes total, averaging 23.5 per game. Even with limited time on the floor, Dončić still made an impact—dropping 30 points, snagging nine rebounds, and handing out eight assists. Looks like he’s getting back in the groove, just not at full speed yet.
Looks like the Lakers are keeping the 5x All-Star on a minutes restriction for at least one more game said JJ Redick as they face the Charlotte Hornets on Wednesday. But there’s some good news as well. There’s a chance he could be back to full minutes as early as Thursday when the Lakers take on the Trail Blazers reports Mike Trudell.
