LOS ANGELES -- Luka Doncic is going back to work with the Los Angeles Lakers, and he's likely back to full speed as well.
Coach JJ Redick says Doncic probably won't have a minutes restriction this week after his deliberate start to his Lakers tenure before the All-Star break.
When the Lakers host Charlotte on Wednesday night, Doncic will play in his third game back following a 6 1/2-week absence due to a strained left calf suffered on Christmas while playing for the Dallas Mavericks.
The Slovenian superstar played in both of the Lakers' final two games before the All-Star break, but he logged only 47 total minutes while the Lakers eased him back into competition.
