Luka Doncic is officially a member of the Los Angeles Lakers, but when will he make his debut for his new team?
At the end of December, Doncic did a calf tension in what we now know that we were his last match as a member of the Dallas Mavericks. At this point, reports indicated that the team would re -assess it in a month. It’s been about a month now, so Donic should approach a return.
And according to Marc Spears d’EspnThis is indeed the case. Spears reported on Monday that Doncic could return to the Lakers’ home match on February 10 against Utah Jazz or their match on the road on February 12 against jazz. These two jazz games are two last games that the Lakers will play before the stars break.
The Lakers return to action on February 19 against the Charlotte Hornets after the break, so if Doncic cannot play against jazz, this would become the most likely return date. The three games would come against the Lottery opponents, which would be an excellent opportunity for Donic to get your feet with the Lakers.

So may not be the only New Laker who launched a mandate with the team in mid-February. There are still three days to the deadline for exchanges, and the Lakers should be active to try to add to this new list centered on Donnon. For the moment, the objective will be to add a center that can replace Anthony Davis as a primary dashboard and a LOB finisher for Donic in Pick-And-Roll. Another wing 3 and D would also be a welcome addition.
When Donic is finally suitable for Lakers, it will probably be with a very different list from the one we have seen this season. LeBron James has a clause without exchange and would intend to use it stay in Los Angeles. Basically, anyone else is on the table, however, when he is preparing for the arrival of Doncic.
