Los Angeles Lakers superstar guard Luka Doncic will not be available for Thursday’s game against the host Toronto Raptors.
Doncic officially has been ruled out for personal reasons. He reportedly is in Slovenia for the birth of his second child with fiancee Anamaria Goltes.
Doncic, 26, is averaging an NBA-best 35.3 points, 8.9 rebounds and 8.9 assists in 16 games (all starts) this season with Los Angeles.
The five-time NBA All-Star was acquired by the Lakers in a surprise trade with the Dallas Mavericks in February and then signed a three-year, $165 million contract extension in August.
Doncic has averaged 28.8 points, 8.6 rebounds and 8.2 assists in 466 career games (all starts) with the Mavericks (2018-25) and Lakers.
