The Los Angeles Lakers will face the Toronto Raptors without star guard Luka Dončić on Thursday night in Canada, as he has been ruled out for personal reasons. Dončić and his wife welcomed their second daughter into the world today, prompting fan congratulations across social media. The Lakers, holding a 15-5 record as the Western Conference's second seed, recently lost 125-108 to the Phoenix Suns.
Chris Paul shared his first public comments since the Los Angeles Clippers waived him last week, stating he is at peace with the situation. The 40-year-old guard, who announced his retirement plans in late November, learned of the decision in the middle of the night during a road trip. Paul is now exploring options to finish his career elsewhere while enjoying rare family time.
