The Los Angeles Lakers played the second half without star Luka Dončić on Thursday after he exited the game against the Philadelphia 76ers with left hamstring soreness.
The injury occurred in the second quarter, with Dončić grabbing his leg after a move in the paint. He finished with 10 points, 4 rebounds, and 5 turnovers before being ruled out for the remainder of the contest.
Head coach JJ Redick confirmed post-game that Dončić felt hamstring soreness, leading the medical staff to hold him out. Further imaging will determine the severity of the injury.
This setback comes at a critical time for the Lakers, who are fighting for playoff positioning in the competitive Western Conference.
