Los Angeles Lakers superstar Luka Doncic was upgraded from questionable to probable for Monday night's home game against the Utah Jazz.
ESPN
Luka Doncic made his Los Angeles Lakers debut in Monday night's 132-113 home win over the Utah Jazz.
Doncic's much-anticipated debut since last week's stunning trade had been delayed as he rehabs from a left calf strain. Doncic last played on Dec. 25 and had been targeting a return before the All-Star break.
He was in the starting lineup but on a minutes restriction. He finished with 14 points in 24 minutes.
The Lakers, who are taking a five-game winning streak into the matchup with Utah, will be giving away Doncic's No. 77 jerseys at the arena. Doncic also announced Monday that his foundation will be donating $500,000 to help recovery efforts from the wildfires that ravaged L.A. last month.
Dalton Knecht, whom the Lakers sent to Charlotte as part of the Mark Williams trade that has since been rescinded, was a late scratch for Monday's game. Cam Reddish, who was also part of that trade, is listed as out due to personal reasons.
