Will Luka Doncic play tonight against the Orlando Magic? Latest update on the Los Angeles Lakers star's injury report (March 24, 2025)

The Los Angeles Lakers (43-27) will have Luka Doncic available when they face the Orlando Magic (33-38) on Monday night at the Kia Center. Despite injury concerns surrounding key players, Doncic remains fit and ready to contribute as the Lakers push for playoff positioning.

Luka Doncic has been declared fit to play tonight against the Orlando Magic. The Los Angeles Lakers’ injury report lists Maxi Kleber (foot) as out, LeBron James (groin) as probable, and Rui Hachimura (patellar) as questionable.

Doncic has been a steady force for the Lakers, averaging 26.5 points, 9.1 rebounds, and 7.8 assists over the last 20 games. His presence is crucial as Los Angeles looks to improve its 19th-ranked offense (112.8 PPG) against Orlando’s top-ranked defense (106.1 PPG allowed).

The Magic are dealing with significant setbacks, including Cole Anthony (toe) and Trevelin Queen (ankle) listed as questionable. Orlando will also be without Moritz Wagner (knee) and Jalen Suggs (quadricep), both ruled out for the season—a major blow to their rotation.
The Magic, despite their defensive strength, struggle offensively, ranking last in the NBA with just 104.8 points per game. Paolo Banchero (27.8 PPG) and Franz Wagner (23.0 PPG) lead Orlando, but the absence of Suggs—a key perimeter defender—and Wagner’s lingering injury woes could tilt the game in the Los Angeles Lakers’ favor.
With Anthony and Queen both game-time decisions, Orlando’s backcourt depth will be tested. If either sits, expect heavier minutes from Anthony Black and Caleb Houstan, who have shown flashes but lack consistency.

Tip-off is set for 7 p.m. ET, with coverage on SportsNet LA, FDSFL, and NBA TV. Fans can also stream the game live on Fubo (regional restrictions may apply).

With Doncic healthy and James likely suiting up, the Los Angeles Lakers have a strong chance to extend their winning momentum. The Magic, however, will rely on their stifling defense to keep the game competitive, but their injury woes may prove too much to overcome.
