Doncic Out for Rest of Regular Season With Hamstring Injury

Lakers star Luka Doncic is out for the remainder of the regular season after sustaining a grade‑two strain in his left hamstring during Thursday’s loss to the Oklahoma City Thunder. The 27‑year‑old will miss the final five games, delaying his return just weeks before the playoffs.

With 2,143 points (33.5 ppg) and a March player‑of‑the‑month award, Doncic was a frontrunner for MVP but now sits one appearance short of the 65‑game threshold. His agent will file an “Extraordinary Circumstances Challenge” to keep him eligible for end‑of‑season honors.
