Angeles Lakers fans will have one Christmas wish come to fruition when star guard Luka Doncic returns from a calf injury to play against the Houston Rockets on Thursday, according to an ESPN report. Doncic departed early from a loss to the Los Angeles Clippers on Saturday with a lower leg contusion.

Phoenix Suns coach Jordan Ott is comfortable with a dust-up or two when his team plays.

On Monday, pictures were taken of Doncic at Lakers practice with a bulky wrap around his left leg.
