Los Angeles Lakers star Luka Doncic is reportedly not expected to miss more than one week of action with finger and leg injuries.

But the price to pay in trading for Markkanen would be expensive. In a potential deal with the Jazz, the Lakers have to match the star forward’s massive $46MM-plus annual salary. Not to mention, Danny Ainge will definitely seek draft assets before letting the Finnish sensation go.

The Lakers put forth an uneven performance in their regular-season opener on Tuesday and fell to the Warriors by 10 points.

The Los Angeles Lakers were dealt a major setback on Sunday as superstar Luka Dončić was diagnosed with a sprained left finger and lower leg contusion that will keep him sidelined for at least a week, according to ESPN’s Dave McMenamin.
