During the Lakers 104-98 win over the Houston Rockets, Luka Doncic had a hard fall. After the game, Luka appeared at the postgame press conference with his left elbow heavily wrapped, but he was quick to downplay the severity of the injury.

“It’s terrible. It will be fine in two days,” Luka said.

While Doncic’s humor helped ease concerns, it was clear that the injury wasn’t going to slow him down. Despite the hard fall, he contributed 20 points, nine assists, six rebounds, and two steals to lead the Lakers to the win. His all-around play was crucial in the Lakers maintaining their position in the top four of the Western Conference standings, now holding a solid 46-29 record.
