Luka Doncic expects to return, Reaves off minutes restriction when Lakers come back from break

The Los Angeles Lakers expect to be fully healthy for the first time in recent memory when they return from the All-Star break. NBA scoring leader Luka Doncic said Thursday that he will “probably” return to the court after missing the Lakers' final four games before the break with a mild hamstring strain. Austin Reaves also will no longer be on his minutes restriction stemming from a five-week absence with a calf injury, coach JJ Redick said after practice at the Lakers' training complex.
