Dallas Mavericks star Luka Doncic is scheduled for an MRI, raising a new injury concern that could directly affect the Los Angeles Lakers just as guard Austin Reaves makes his return to action.
The examination for Doncic, reported on February 6, 2026, comes at a moment when the Lakers have been bracing for potential roster adjustments. Details about the nature of Doncic’s ailment and the exact timing of the scan were not disclosed, but the outcome could influence upcoming matchups between the two Western Conference teams.
Meanwhile, Los Angeles confirmed that Reaves, who had been sidelined by an unspecified issue, is back in uniform and available to play. The 25-year-old guard had missed recent games, and his clearance provides a boost to head coach Darvin Ham’s rotation.
Additional information on Doncic’s MRI results and any subsequent impact on the Lakers or Mavericks was not immediately available.
