Lakers' Luka Doncic Out with Hamstring Injury

The Los Angeles Lakers announced that Doncic, who recently won Western Conference Player of the Month, suffered the injury. This leaves LeBron James' team without its star for the critical stretch leading into the postseason.

The Lakers secured a playoff spot but now face a tougher road against the Minnesota Timberwolves. Doncic's absence is a major setback for the team's title ambitions as LeBron enters his final season with the franchise.
