Luka Doncic and the Los Angeles Lakers were dominant in a 142-111 road win over the Washington Wizards on Friday, Jan. 30.
Doncic managed to overcome left ankle soreness and score a game-high 37 points in a triple-double performance. He was listed on the status report as questionable before he was upgraded to available in the moments leading up to tip-off.
Doncic nearly avoided serious injury earlier in the week when he suffered a spill on the court and was heard on a video voicing his displeasure during a game against the Cleveland Cavaliers on Jan. 28.
According to The Athletic, the court is said to be 10 inches above a rubber mat that covers an ice hockey rink at Rocket Arena, where the Cleveland Monsters of the American Hockey League also play.
