Luka Doncic injury update is bad news for Lakers fans before Thunder series
Luka Doncic has not played since injuring his hamstring 32 days ago, and Brian Windhorst's update suggests he won't return for the first few games of the Thunder-Lakers series. The Lakers' chances of upsetting the Thunder hinge on Doncic's return, but Windhorst's timeline indicates Doncic may not be ready until Game 5 or later.
Luka Doncic has been out for 32 days after injuring his hamstring in a loss to the Oklahoma City Thunder. The Thunder are set to face the Los Angeles Lakers in the Western Conference semifinals. Brian Windhorst reported that Doncic is not close to returning and hasn't started his contact ramp up yet. Windhorst doesn't expect Doncic to play in the first few games of the series. Game 1 is set for Tuesday night in Oklahoma City. The Lakers' chances of winning the series are slim as long as Doncic is out.
