Lakers head coach JJ Redick said after the team's training that he likes Luca Doncic and LeBron James to play, but the team must remain "wise".

Then, Redick added: "Considering that the European Championships have just finished the summer, it is necessary for Doncic to take a break. He will start training next week and plan to return at a certain point in the preseason."

Earlier, the Lakers officially announced that Doncic will not play in the team's first two preseason games, and James will also miss the game due to a hip injury.
