Luka Doncic expected to play in 2026 NBA All-Star Game
While speaking with media members during All-Star Weekend, Doncic revealed that he is feeling better and plans to play at least a little bit.
“I feel good. I’ve been working hard to recover,” Doncic said. “Obviously I wanted to play the last game, but it’s not possible. I’m almost there. So I thought I’d play a little bit.”
Technically, playing in exhibition games could be a good way for Doncic to relax and get back into action, although he’s not expected to play many minutes given the injury.

This season, Doncic played 42 games for the Lakers, averaging 32.8 points, 8.6 assists, 7.8 rebounds and 1.4 steals per game.
