The shorthanded Chicago Bulls have a big test ahead of them on Saturday night as they face the Los Angeles Lakers.

It's a big game for Lakers fans as they're hopeful to have LeBron James and Rui Hachimura finally return from injury. However, LeBron and Hachimura aren't the only ones listed on the injury report, Luka Doncic is as well.

The Los Angeles Lakers listed Luka Doncic as probable against the Chicago Bulls with a right ankle sprain. He missed the team's most recent game against the Milwaukee Bucks on Thursday night.
