Luka Doncic Injury: Upgraded to probable

Doncic (finger/leg) has been upgraded to probable for Friday's game against the Grizzlies, Dave McMenamin of ESPN.com reports.

After going through morning shootaround, Doncic is firmly on track to return from a three-game absence Friday. The Lakers originally planned on being without the superstar guard for at least one week as of Sunday, but Doncic appears to be ahead of schedule in his recovery from a finger sprain and lower leg contusion. His return, as well as Marcus Smart's (quadriceps), would likely push Jake LaRavia back to the bench.
