Lakers star Luka Dončić to miss remainder of regular season with hamstring strain, will challenge NBA's 65-game minimum for awards eligibility

The Los Angeles Lakers suffered both insult and injury Thursday night against the Oklahoma City Thunder. During the team’s blowout loss, star guard Luka Dončić was forced to leave the game due to a left hamstring injury.

Dončić underwent an MRI on Friday, resulting in the Lakers ruling him out indefinitely according to ESPN’s Shams Charania. At the very least, he will miss the remainder of the regular season.

The injury occurred with a little over seven minutes remaining in the third quarter. Dončić pulled up near the free-throw line after being double-teamed and grabbed at his left hamstring. He laid on the court for a while before eventually leaving the contest.

Normally I would say they are resting him for the playoffs, but he looks like he really popped it. That could impact the entire playoffs. Remember what happened to Jalen.

He stepped wrong.

Looks legit

He shouldn't have been playing with the score the way it was

never a good sign when they say at least the reg season.

that reaction makes it appear pretty severe - like might miss some time next year severe - he was leading the league in ppg and got the lakers all the way past the wolves rockets and nuggets

That's a real shame.

I haven't been paying attention, but has he done his usual thing of getting fatter and more out of condition as the season has worn on?
