The Lakers were able to scrap together a victory against the Trail Blazers Without LeBron James, Luka Doncic and Austin Reaves.

The Lakers will miss Luka Dončić, Austin Reaves & LeBron James vs. the surging Trail Blazers, who are 4-1 since Chauncey Billups’ arrest.

With Luka Dončić and Marcus Smart back, the Lakers took care of business, beating the Grizzlies 117-112 on Friday night. This was LA’s first NBA Cup game, and they are off to a perfect start with this convincing win.

Luka Dončić continued his torrid start to the 2025-26 season Sunday night by dropping a 29-point triple-double against the Heat in a 130–120 win. It was his lowest scoring output of the year through four games, though it was more than enough to help him cement his place in Lakers’ history.
