Los Angeles Lakers guard Luka Doncic took part in Saturday's practice at full capacity, though he missed Sunday's preseason game against the Golden State Warriors.

Doncic was not given a status until Sunday afternoon. There was hope that he might return for the Warriors game, but his comeback to the court has been delayed.

He ended up missing the early part of training camp because he played in the EuroBasket basketball tournament over the summer.

The plan is still for Doncic to play in two preseason games before the season starts.

In other news, the Lakers were labeled as a contender for Giannis Antetokounmpo, potentially being a landing spot for The Greek Freak.

The Lakers have limited assets, but if Antetokounmpo pushed for a trade to Hollywood, a deal could happen.
