Summary

Lakers fans hoping for a miracle got some disappointing news Wednesday when Luka Donćić met the media in Oklahoma City, and poured some cold water on the prospect of returning in this series. It's not gonna happen. Luka didn't say it explicitly, but made clear that the timeline for the injury when it happened was eight weeks. The hope was to speed it up with the PRP and fancy treatments, but it's the very start of week five. That's simply not enough time. So no miracles. Meanwhile, Jarred Vanderbilt isn't expected to play on Thursday with the gross , and now Luke Kennard is on the injury report with a neck problem. So the depth, already an issue, is going to be even more of a problem. Finally, we ask a simple question with a very complicated answer: Is Game 2 the most important one of his career? HOSTS: Andy and Brian Kamenetzky SEGMENT 1: The Lakers won't be seeing Luka Doncic this series, and also have other issues. SEGMENT 2: Is this the most important game of Austin's career? SEGMENT 3: What can get better from A.R. in Game 2? Everydayer ClubIf you never miss an episode, it’s time to make it official.
