The Lakers are on a red-hot run, having won seven of their last eight games, including a solid 5-1 road trip. They are 2-0 against Stephen Curry and the Warriors this season and will be aiming for a clean sweep.

Fans are eagerly waiting to see Luka don the purple and gold jersey. However, the Slovenian superstar has been out of action since Christmas Day with a left calf strain.

So, will Luka make his debut in the highly-anticipated matchup against the Warriors?

Also Read:

Unfortunately, no. He has been ruled out for Thursday’s game due to left calf strain. However, reports suggest that Luka could make his debut in the game against the Indiana Pacers on February 8th. This speculation gained more traction when ESPN confirmed they would be airing the Lakers vs. Pacers game.

As for other Lakers injuries, LeBron James is listed as probable due to left foot injury management, while Gabe Vincent is also probable with a left knee contusion. Cam Reddish is doubtful due to personal reasons. Maxi Kleber remains out with a right foot fracture, and Christian Wood is out as he continues recovering from left knee surgery.
