ESPN’s Lisa Salter Confirms Luka Doncic’s Concerning Health Situation After Delay in Lakers vs Timberwolves

Just minutes after Game 3 tipped off in Minnesota, ESPN’s Lisa Salters revealed a troubling update for Lakers fans — Luka Doncic is battling a stomach bug. “He came into the game feeling the effects of that upset stomach, low energy,” Salters said. “He’s looked a little shaky to start this game.” And that’s exactly what we’ve seen on the court.

Doncic has scored just 2 points on 1-of-6 shooting and missed all three of his attempts from deep. While he’s still trying to impact the game with 5 assists, his usual burst and efficiency just aren’t there tonight. The Lakers, already struggling offensively in this series, desperately need their superstar to shake it off.

Making matters even weirder, the game itself was delayed and didn’t tip off until 8:53 PM — giving both teams a little extra time to warm up but perhaps not helping Doncic’s uneasy stomach. The Lakers are hoping to regain home-court advantage after splitting the first two games, but with Doncic under the weather and their offense still inconsistent, they’ll need someone like Austin Reaves to step up quickly. Stay tuned — this one could get unpredictable.
