Luka Dončić expected back Friday against Warriors

Luka Dončić sat out the Lakers’ Wednesday game against the Clippers because of back tightness, with the team resting him in the second game of a back-to-back. He is expected to return Friday against the Warriors. Dončić had scored 41 points against Portland on Tuesday and is averaging 36 points, 8.3 assists and 6.8 rebounds through four games; forward Ziaire Williams also missed Wednesday’s game with foot soreness.
