The All-Star guard has a strained left hamstring after suffering the injury during a win over the 76ers on Thursday. There is no timetable for his return.
Luka Doncic was diagnosed with a strained left hamstring and listed as out for the Lakers' game against the Golden State Warriors on Saturday at Crypto.com Arena. The Lakers have not indicated a timetable for Doncic's return.
Doncic was injured late in the second quarter of the Lakers’ win over the Philadelphia 76ers on Thursday night. He threw a pass to Maxi Kleber that was a turnover, turned to run back on defense and immediately grabbed his left hamstring. Doncic went up and down the court a couple of times but was unable to play any longer. The Lakers called a timeout, and Doncic headed to the locker room and did not return. After the game, Doncic was limping down the hallway. Coach JJ Redick said Doncic would undergo an MRI exam Friday. Doncic leads the NBA in scoring and is second in assists . He's missed eight of the Lakers' 42 games because of injuries and the birth of his daughter, and they're 4-4 without him. “We need him,” guard Austin Reaves said after the game. “He’s our best player and the engine of a lot of the stuff that we do. Yeah, so, hopefully we get good news.”
