Fantasy Impact: Doncic missed Thursday's win over the Raptors due to the birth of his child. Lakers coach JJ Reddick said he expected Doncic to be back with the team "soon."

Left foot joint arthritis and sciatica will keep LeBron James out of action for Friday's game against the Celtics. The Lakers have ruled the superstar out for the second leg of their back-to-back set, as reported by Dan Woike of The Athletic. (Source: Shams Charania)

Fantasy Impact: James is coming off a challenging shooting performance against Toronto, where he went 4-for-17 from the floor and missed all five three-point attempts, though he did dish out 11 assists in 36 minutes. With him sidelined, the team will likely turn to a committee of Jake LaRavia, Dalton Knecht, and Maxi Kleber to fill the void. His next opportunity to return will be Sunday against the 76ers.
