Luka Doncic
April 2026
Luka Doncic will miss the rest of the regular season after the Lakers confirmed a Grade 2 strain in his left hamstring. The injury arrives at a brutal time for Los Angeles and leaves Doncic one game short of the standard 65-game awards threshold. The strain was revealed after an MRI following his injury in the blowout loss to Oklahoma City. Associated Press reported the Lakers have only five regular-season games left, making a return before the playoffs unrealistic, while Doncic’s camp plans to challenge the award-eligibility issue through the league’s extraordinary circumstances process.
