Doncic and Sims delivered jaw-dropping plays as the Lakers and Bucks traded blows in a high-energy first half.

Despite a bit of a slow start to his Lakers tenure, Doncic has found his groove. In the first half against Milwaukee, the Slovenian native became just the third player in Lakers history to record 25+ points, 5+ rebounds, and 5+ three-point field goals made in a single half. Only James and Kobe Bryant have achieved this feat in a Lakers uniform.

So, regarding whether Luka Doncic is playing tonight vs. the Bucks, the Lakers shouldn't risk putting their star centerpiece out there if he's at risk for further injury. However, they'll have a tough time competing if they rule him out with James, Rui Hachimura, and Jaxson Hayes already sidelined.
