Luka Doncic<\/a> was diagnosed with a strained left hamstring and listed as out for the Lakers<\/a>\u2019 game against the Golden State Warriors on Saturday at Crypto.com Arena.<\/p>\n

The Lakers have not indicated a timetable for Doncic\u2019s return. <\/p>\n

Doncic was injured late in the second quarter of the Lakers\u2019 win<\/a> over the Philadelphia 76ers on Thursday night. He threw a pass to Maxi Kleber that was a turnover, turned to run back on defense and immediately grabbed his left hamstring.<\/p>\n

Doncic went up and down the court a couple of times but was unable to play any longer. The Lakers called a timeout, and Doncic headed to the locker room and did not return.<\/p>\n

After the game, Doncic was limping down the hallway. Coach JJ Redick said Doncic would undergo an MRI exam Friday.<\/p>\n

Doncic leads the NBA in scoring (33.4) and is second in assists (8.7). He\u2019s missed eight of the Lakers\u2019 42 games because of injuries and the birth of his daughter, and they\u2019re 4-4 without him.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe need him,\u201d guard Austin Reaves said after the game. \u201cHe\u2019s our best player and the engine of a lot of the stuff that we do. Yeah, so, hopefully we get good news.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Luka Doncic was diagnosed with a strained left hamstring and listed as out for the Lakers\u2019 game against…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":167787,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[27],"tags":[6265,69811,14925,28684,2424,80675,24030,48,52,51,1415,47,50,49,7551,80677,80676,2699,7555,4695,13340],"class_list":["post-167786","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-los-angeles","tag-assist","tag-coach-jj-redick","tag-com-arena","tag-crypto","tag-friday","tag-game-saturday","tag-hamstring","tag-la","tag-la-headlines","tag-la-news","tag-lakers","tag-los-angeles","tag-los-angeles-headlines","tag-los-angeles-news","tag-luka-doncic","tag-mri-exam","tag-philadelphia-76er","tag-return","tag-second-quarter","tag-thursday-night","tag-warriors"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/167786","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=167786"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/167786\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/167787"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=167786"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=167786"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=167786"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
