PORTLAND -- Los Angeles Lakers star Luka Doncic will not play Thursday against the Trail Blazers because of left calf injury management, the team announced.
Doncic played 33 minutes in the Lakers' 100-97 loss to the Charlotte Hornets on Wednesday in L.A.'s first game out of the All-Star break, registering 14 points, 11 rebounds and eight assists, but shooting just 5-for-18 with six turnovers.
It was just Doncic's third game with L.A. after being out since Christmas Day when he suffered a left calf strain as a member of the Dallas Mavericks.
