Luka Dončić upgraded to questionable, likely set for debut vs. Jazz

Everything looks set for Luka Dončić to make his debut for the Lakers on Monday against the Jazz as he was upgraded to questionable.

The Lakers look set to officially enter the Luka Dončić era on Monday. After being listed as out for the first three games of his Lakers tenure, Luka was upgraded to questionable against the Jazz.

LeBron James also joins him as questionable after missing Saturday’s game against the Pacers.

Luka has been out since Christmas Day when he left the Mavs’ game against the Wolves with the calf strain. He’s spent the months since rehabbing — and ballooning in weight, according to some people.

In his introductory presser, he mentioned that this is the first time he’s taken time to fully recover from the injury. Hopefully, that means the injury that has plagued him throughout the years is in his rearview mirror. It would be likely that Luka will be on a minutes restriction at least in the short term.

LeBron, meanwhile, has been upgraded after missing the last game with left ankle soreness. Dalton Knecht, meanwhile, is listed as questionable after returning to the Lakers following the rescinded Mark Williams trade.

Cam Reddish, who also was part of that trade, has been out in recent weeks for personal reasons and remains as such. Bronny James is doubtful, potentially a result of a nasty fall he took in a recent G League game.

Austin Reaves was listed as questionable before scoring a career-high against the Pacers on Saturday. He is probable for this contest.
