Luka Doncic to Sit Out Initial Preseason Games for Lakers

Luka Doncic will not participate in the first two preseason games for the Los Angeles Lakers as part of a strategy to manage his health and readiness for the regular season. This decision, made in collaboration with the team's performance staff, allows him to acclimate to training camp. While fans are disappointed, it provides the Lakers an opportunity to test their lineup ahead of the season.
