What happened

Luka Dončić appeared to roll his right ankle late in Wednesday’s win over Milwaukee after a made-and-one basket, then stayed to shoot the free throw before leaving the floor.

Austin Reaves also exited in the third quarter with a left heel injury, leaving Los Angeles with two rotation questions from the same game.

LINEUP CONTEXT

If either injury lingers, the Lakers may need to rework ballhandling and wing minutes in their next game, but no timetable was given.
