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.

Spurs Earn Serious Contender Status as Wembanyama Leads San Antonio Surge

San Antonio Spurs
March 2026

San Antonio are being spoken about as a genuine title threat after a dominant run since January pushed them near the top of the Western Conference. Victor Wembanyama’s two-way impact has become the centrepiece of a team now combining elite defence, strong offence and sustained winning form. The Spurs have surged behind Wembanyama’s MVP-level production and one of the league’s best net ratings, while coach Mitch Johnson has kept the focus on internal improvement rather than hype. Rick Carlisle’s endorsement added weight to the idea that San Antonio are no longer just promising, but dangerous right now.
