Los Angeles Lakers star Luka Doncic expressed a "next man up" mentality now that LeBron James is out at least 3-4 weeks due to injury.
Doncic, who came into this season as the No. 1 option for the Lakers, will have to take on more responsibilities with James out due to a sciatica on his right side.
"It's a big change,"
said the All-NBA guard after practice on Saturday. With new additions like Deandre Ayton, Jake LaRavia, and Marcus Smart, the Lakers players should help make Doncic's life easier.
