What happened: The Los Angeles Lakers designated Luka Doncic as questionable for Sunday's game at Detroit due to back tightness. The designation follows his 53-point performance in a 124-118 victory on Friday.

Why it matters: Doncic finished as the game-high scorer with 53 points in the previous contest. Any missed time would test the Lakers' rotation depth to open their road trip.

By the numbers: Doncic recorded 53 points, 5 rebounds, and 5 assists in the 124-118 win.

What to watch: The Lakers will clarify Doncic's availability closer to Sunday's tipoff in Detroit.
