He has not ruled out the possibility of playing against his former team, the Dallas Mavericks, on Thursday and hopes to play in Sunday's NBA All-Star Game at the Intuit Dome.Doncic, 26, was the NBA leading vote-getter for the first time in his eight-year career, amassing more than 3 million ballots.Lakers center Deandre Ayton is also on the injury report with right knee soreness and listed as questionable.Rookie forward Adou Thiero, out since Dec. 30 with a sprained MCL in his right knee, is available to play against San Antonio.L.A. (32-20) is 1-2 against the Spurs (36-16) so far this season.
