Lakers miss Doncic, Reaves, and James due to injuries in game against Trail Blazers.

The Los Angeles Lakers will be without Luka Doncic, Austin Reaves, and LeBron James for their game against the Portland Trail Blazers on November 3, 2025. Doncic is out due to a lower leg contusion, Reaves due to groin soreness, and James due to sciatica. Center Deandre Ayton and forward Maxi Kleber are questionable. The Lakers, 5-2 and third in the West, rely heavily on Doncic’s 41.3 points per game and Reaves’ 31.1 points, making their absence a major challenge against a strong Portland team.
