Los Angeles Lakers guard Luka Doncic will sit out the team's visit to the Los Angeles Clippers due to back tightness, the Associated Press reported Wednesday.
The announcement comes a day after the Lakers faced the Portland Trail Blazers on Tuesday, October 27, 2026, where Doncic appeared on the sideline and reacted to plays during the game.
No timetable for his return was provided. The Lakers' next game is against their crosstown rivals, the Clippers.
