Share

PORTLAND -- Los Angeles Lakers star Luka Doncic will miss Saturday's game against the Portland Trail Blazers because of left groin soreness, the team announced Friday.

Doncic, 26, is coming off of 39 points, 4 assists and 3 rebounds in L.A.'s 135-117 loss to the Charlotte Hornets on Thursday.

Earlier in the week, before the Lakers' 124-112 loss to the Sacramento Kings on Monday, Doncic said he "felt something" in his groin area while warming up, but played nonetheless -- receiving treatment on his inner leg during the game.
