Doncic
Lakers reporter Trudell revealed that Doncic had gastrointestinal discomfort until today's game, and although his physical strength was not good, Doncic still wanted to play. In the end, Doncic still played as many as 40 minutes, shooting 6 of 16, including 2 three-pointers, and putting up 16 points, 8 assists and 7 rebounds, but also had 5 turnovers, and the Lakers still lost to the Timberwolves in the end.
Lakers head coach Redick said after the game that Doncic has not been in good health for the past 24 hours, and he doesn't think Doncic slept much last night and even vomited all afternoon today. Doncic didn't get on the court in time for the start of the second half today, and Redick said he wasn't sure if it had anything to do with his physical discomfort.
Speaking about Doncic's persistence today, teammate Reeves said: "He gave his all today and did everything he could to help us win. We had a chance in the last three minutes of the game, but we couldn't take it. ”
Finneysmith also said that he saw Doncic's pale face and poor condition at halftime, and he thought that Doncic could not continue to play half of the game, but he also praised Doncic for enduring gastrointestinal discomfort and still trying to help the Lakers contribute.
