DETROIT (AP) — Los Angeles Lakers star Luka Doncic will miss Sunday's game against the Detroit Pistons with lower-back tightness.

Doncic is averaging 45.0 points, 9.0 rebounds and 7.8 assists in his last four games, including a 53-point game in Friday's 124-118 win over the Portland Trail Blazers.

The 27-year-old missed a 103-87 win over the Los Angeles Clippers on Oct. 28 but has played in the other nine games in the Lakers' 8-2 start.
