The newly taken over Los Angeles Lakers -star Luka Doncic will not be on any full health this season this season.
Lakers -Lessness update: “Doncic will never be 100%”
Doncic did not start precisely with his career as a laker with a bang, with 14 points, five rebounds and four assists in his debut followed by 16 points, four rebounds and four assists – both against the Utah Jazz.
It is quite clear that the Slovenian is not completely healthy and his intake on injury reports with a calf stem has only added fuel to the fire, and has a minute restriction.
Lakers Insider, Jovan Buha of athletics, revealed that Doncic will never be 100% and he could also play through problems that are not mentioned in the injury report.
“He (Doncic) will never be 100%. These guys are constantly dealing with things. And often they are things that we don’t even know, or they are things that are not public, and they just don’t want people to know.
“You could adjust your knee and just play through it, and it is not on the injury report.”
Luka Doncic said he is enthusiastic about the mental break that will come this week, but that he will continue to train when he gets his rhythm back, and that he cannot wait to resume games next week.

The 25-year-old Christmas suffered a calf stem and his first two games in a Lakers-uniform were on his return from an injury, so it will of course take some time to get up to speed.
With All-Star Weekend in front of our door, this Doncic gives a bit of a delay to prepare his body to attack the last part of the regular season.
Doncic is generally considered a generation talent and Lakers -fans are still unbelieving that they could land the young superstar for a aging veteran in Anthony Davis who also had a good part of the injury problems.
Los Angeles has their franchise corner to build around in the post-loning James era and there is no doubt that the team is in good hands.
