Los Angeles Lakers star Luka Doncic will not play Thursday night against the visiting Milwaukee Bucks for injury maintenance, ESPN reported.
Doncic, who has been dealing with a sprained right ankle, played 32 minutes in Wednesday night's 120-108 win against the Denver Nuggets and tallied 31 points, eight rebounds and seven assists.
The Lakers (43-25) are concluding a hectic stretch of six games in eight days. They have a day off Friday before hosting the Chicago Bulls on Saturday night.
Doncic, 26, also sat out last Friday's 131-126 road loss to the Nuggets with ankle and calf injuries.
He is averaging 26.5 points, 8.8 rebounds, 8.0 assists and 34.4 minutes in 16 games (all starts) since joining Los Angeles in a stunning Feb. 2 trade that sent fellow All-NBA regular Anthony Davis to the Dallas Mavericks.
