Luka Doncic injury update: Lakers star hurts hamstring in ugly game vs Thunder
Things went from bad to worse for the Lakers as Luka Doncic was injured in a blowout against the Thunder.
On the heels of his historic month, Los Angeles Lakers star guard Luka Dončić suffered a hamstring injury that could derail the rest of his regular season. With 7:39 to play in Los Angeles’ game Thursday, April 2 against the Oklahoma City Thunder, Dončić was driving down the left lane when he met an OKC double-team of Jalen Williams and Chet Holmgren. Dončić stopped abruptly and immediately clutched at his left hamstring, tossing the ball aside.
He started to limp before officials blew the play dead. Dončić then hobbled over to the baseline, where he went down to the court and lay on his back while trainers rushed over to tend to him. Those injuries are the scariest.

He buried his face in his jersey and went straight to the locker room. The injury came during the height of a blowout, with the Lakers down by 32. The team officially ruled him out with a hamstring injury in the fourth quarter.
