Luka Doncic's Lakers-Thunder Game 2 status officially revealed

Considering Luka Doncic's bleak vibes talking to LA reporters, it shouldn't be a shocker to see the Los Angeles Lakers will remain without the MVP candidate. He's been officially ruled out for Game 2 against the Oklahoma City Thunder with a hamstring strain. Doncic sustained the hamstring strain in OKC on Apr.

2. Since then, he's been out for over a month and has missed all eight of Los Angeles' NBA playoff games. The Thunder pulled away late in their 108-90 Game 1 win over the Lakers.

They have a 1-0 series lead. On Wednesday, Doncic's words zapped away any foolish optimism. He reiterated a couple of times that he's dealing with an eight-week injury.

On that timeline, he would return a week shy of a potential Lakers vs. Thunder Game 7. So yeah, things aren't looking great.
