Lakers News: Luka Doncic & Marcus Smart To Make Preseason Debuts Vs. Suns
Los Angeles Lakers guards Luka Doncic and Marcus Smart will make their preseason debuts against the Phoenix Suns on Tuesday night.
The Lakers are halfway through their preseason slate, having played three of six games. Doncic and Smart have not yet suited up, with Doncic being held back as a precaution after playing for Slovenia in EuroBasket, and Smart dealing with minor Achilles tendinopathy and an illness.
Despite the delays, building chemistry with teammates is crucial, and the plan is for Doncic and Smart to play in two preseason games.
Doncic will carry a very heavy workload once the regular season begins.
