When will Luke Dončić Debbi for Lakers? All we know so much

Luka Doncic could put out his debut Los Angeles Lakers Saturday, Coach JJ Redick said on Wednesday.

Doncic participated in his first practice with Lakers because he joined the team in a stunning trade with Dallas The past weekend. The Slovenian superstar did not play for Maverike since the left calf strained on Christmas day.

Doncic won’t play when Lakers open host in three plays against Golden State Warriors Thursday night but last season NBA The scoring champion has a good chance to come back when Lakers hosted Indiana Pacers On Saturday or Utah Jazz Monday night.

“We just just estimated IT from the day,” Redick said. “We hope to return it in the next few games. We have just had an uncontact practice today, but we have a little good work for about 45 minutes, and in some next two days it will have a game ready for stay. He will have several other opportunities to play live basketball, a Then we will make a decision on Saturday. If it is not Saturday, we hope it is Monday. (but) that decisions will be made on Saturday. “

NBA Embieters sent attention: Soon after Redick spoke, ESPN announced that the beginner’s television pacers’ televisions would run into the Jazz-Suns match on Saturday.

Doncic watched from the bench on intuit dome on Tuesday night Lebron James led 122-97 blows Clipters For the ninth win Lakers in 11 games.

James still comes to catching trade Anthony DavisHis close friend and teammate at five and a half years, but already sounded excited to form a new partnership with Dončić, his self-described favorite NBA.

Dončić participated in the paper 5 at 5 in his first Lakers practices. The exercise ended in court chatting with Redrick, James, Assistant Trainer SCOTTA Brook and forward Dorian Finnei-SmithWhat was Doncic’s teammate in Dallas for four and a half seasons. Finney-Smith joined Lakeholders shortly after Christmas in the store with Brooklyn.

“Although I don’t like the way things failed – I feel like definitely needed that money – but now I’m happy to be on my side now,” Finnei-Smith said.

Finney-Smith also laughed with Mavo reported concerned concerns around Dončić’s conditioning and weight.

“I know him, (i) wants to play the whole game,” Finnei-Smith said. “I think he played 40 minutes of each game last players. It’s one thing about LD. I’m not looking at it. If I set up such numbers. If I ask such numbers. I might be 270 (pounds). “

Whenever Doncycic returns to court, Redick does not think he will have a lot of trouble adapting to playing together with James in the Laker’s scheme at both ends.

“The biggest learning guilty is just a tongue,” Redick said. “He knows basketball. He knows that at a high level. We use many concepts used in Dallas, which many teams use the wheel or nothing else. We play really intelligent offensive basketball, and then add to port, which is a supercomputer in court, which can see and see every coverage, every defense adds another layer for sure. “
