Milwaukee Bucks star Damian Lillard credited Los Angeles Lakers guard Luka Doncic for his ability to 'manipulate' games.

Luka Doncic will not play in the conclusion of the Los Angeles Lakers' four-game road trip Friday against the Denver Nuggets.

The Bucks allowed Doncic to go off for 45 points, which was the most he scored in a Lakers uniform. But with 23 points chipped in from veteran big Brook Lopez along with four blocks, the Bucks were able to get a much-needed win. After the game, Lillard took some time during his media session to heap big-time praise on the Slovenian superstar.
