the 139-97 loss<\/a> to the Oklahoma City Thunder and was tended to at the break.<\/p>\n\u201cWe checked him out, he got work done, he was cleared,\u201d Redick said.<\/p>\n
Doncic returned to action briefly. On his final play of the game, he spun before trying to go up for a shot against Oklahoma City\u2019s Jalen Williams. There was no contact before he stopped, then lay down on the floor. He left the game with 7:39 remaining in the third quarter.<\/p>\n
\u201cThose things happen,\u201d Redick said.<\/p>\n
Doncic had scored at least 40 points in five of his previous seven games. He was held to 12 on 3-for-10 shooting against Oklahoma City\u2019s relentless defense.<\/p>\n
The injury made a bad night worse. The Lakers trailed 90-58 when Doncic left the game for good.<\/p>\n
\u201cI mean, it\u2019s something you never want to see as a teammate,\u201d Lakers forward Jake LaRavia said. \u201cSo especially in a game like this, it was tough to see him go down. All the prayers for him hopefully, but yeah, you never want to see that.\u201d<\/p>\n
Lakers guard Austin Reaves also left briefly with a back injury.<\/p>\n
\u201cHe was in a weird position, stretching for a basketball, loose ball,\u201d Redick said. \u201cAnd he just felt something intercostal, somewhere in his back, in between the ribs. He was able to play through it \u2026 we\u2019ll see how he feels tomorrow.\u201d<\/p>\n
The Lakers will host a rematch with the Thunder on April 7.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Luka Don\u010di\u0107 is set for a Friday MRI after suffering a left hamstring injury Thursday against the Thunder.…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":582372,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[557],"tags":[64,63,144734,590,85],"class_list":{"0":"post-582371","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-nba","8":"tag-au","9":"tag-australia","10":"tag-luka-doncic-injury","11":"tag-nba","12":"tag-sports"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/582371","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=582371"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/582371\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/582372"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=582371"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=582371"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=582371"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
