Luka Doncic is still easing his way into the Los Angeles Lakers (32-20) after being dealt from the Dallas Mavericks a few days before the NBA trade deadline. Not only is the star guard getting accustomed to a new team and city, he is still shaking off some injury rust.

The Los Angeles Lakers do not expect Luka Doncic will require a minutes restriction due to his calf injury following the All-Star Game.

Doncic, who joined the Lakers in a blockbuster trade involving Anthony Davis, is shaking off the rust from a left calf strain that sidelined him for over six weeks. Doncic's recovery was timely, as the Lakers' head coach, JJ Redick, confirmed that the star guard would no longer be on a minutes restriction.
