Shams on Luka’s injury:
“Luka Doncic traveled with the team to Dallas, and the Lakers are awaiting the results later today. I’m not going to report the results before I have them, but hamstring injuries, depending on the severity are measured in weeks.”
LeBron James on if tonight will test LAL’s camaraderie: “No, nothing has changed. We still will be [together]. Obviously we’ll be tested with the head of the snake [missing] … But nothing is rattled. It's one game, it's part of the NBA season, it's the defending champions.”
