The Los Angeles Lakers could be without several key players, including Luka Doncic, for Tuesday’s rematch against the Oklahoma City Thunder. The team’s latest injury report lists the Slovenian star as questionable, raising questions about his availability following a dominant 126-99 win over the Thunder just days ago.
Is Luka Doncic playing tonight? Los Angeles Lakers injury report for tonight’s game against the OKC Thunder (April 8, 2025)
There is some uncertainty regarding Luka Doncic’s availability for tonight’s game between the Los Angeles Lakers and the Oklahoma City Thunder. LeBron James is also listed as probable for tonight’s game.
Alongside James and Doncic, Austin Reaves, Dorian Finney-Smith, Gabe Vincent, and Bronny James are also questionable. Rui Hachimura and Maxi Kleber, who has yet to debut for the Lakers, have been ruled out. With the game being the first of a back-to-back—followed by a high-stakes matchup against the Dallas Mavericks—resting key players against the Thunder seems likely.
Los Angeles Lakers' performance and standings so far in this season
The Lakers currently hold the No. 3 seed in the Western Conference at 48-30, with just four games left in the regular season. While catching the Houston Rockets for the No. 2 seed appears unlikely, maintaining their position over the Denver Nuggets (1.5 games back) and Los Angeles Clippers (2 games back) is critical for playoff seeding.
Head coach Darvin Ham has not confirmed any lineup decisions, but the team’s approach suggests caution. "We have to be smart with our guys this time of year," Ham said recently, emphasizing player health ahead of the postseason.
