Luka Doncic will suit up for the Los Angeles Lakers in Sunday’s matchup against the Oklahoma City Thunder, with no injury designation ahead of his highly anticipated return to Dallas next week.
Will Luka Doncic play tonight? Los Angeles Lakers injury report vs OKC Thunder (April 6, 2025)
The Lakers’ latest injury report lists only Maxi Kleber (foot) as out, while LeBron James (groin) is probable. Luka Doncic, who has been managing minor ankle soreness in recent weeks, is fully available as Los Angeles continues integrating him.
Sunday’s game against the Thunder marks the first meeting between the teams since the Lakers acquired Doncic. Oklahoma City will have Chet Holmgren and Alex Caruso back in the lineup after both missed the previous matchup due to injury.
The bigger storyline comes Tuesday, when Doncic faces the Mavericks for the first time since the trade. Though the Lakers have yet to confirm their rotation plans, sources suggest they may limit minutes for key players against the Thunder to ensure full availability for Luka Doncic’s emotional Dallas homecoming.
