Luka Doncic's start with the Los Angeles Lakers has been less than inspiring. Through three games, two before the All-Star break and one after, he's averaging just 14.7 PPG, 6.7 RPG, and 5.3 APG while shooting 35.

While the Lakers will prepare for the matchup against Portland at 10 p.m. ET on Thursday, Doncic will be sidelined for the matchup. He has been ruled out of the game as part of the recovery process from a calf injury, per Marc Stein.
