On Sunday evening, the Los Angeles Lakers continued their winning ways with a home win over the Miami Heat. It was another strong game for the duo of Austin Reaves and Luka Doncic , who have helped guide the Lakers to an impressive 5-2 record in the early portion of this season.

Unfortunately, fans in Portland who spent their hard-earned money to see the Los Angeles stars tonight against the Blazers will not get what they paid for, as both Doncic and Reaves have been ruled out for that game, Reaves with right groin soreness, and Doncic due to lower left leg contusion injury management (per Trevor Lane of Lakers Nation on X, formerly Twitter).

Doncic also sat out the Lakers' first game against the Blazers this year, with Reaves unable to carry the team to a victory in that contest.
