Luka Doncic missed the rest of the 76ers game with a leg injury
Los Angeles Lakers fans curse the basketball gods during Thursday’s home game against the Philadelphia 76ers. Just two nights later welcome back Austin ReevesLA watched the team’s best player get hurt. Luka Doncic grabbed his leg before retreating to the locker room during the second quarter. He ended up being sidelined for the rest of the game with left leg soreness, according to ClutchPoints NBA Insider Brett Siegel.
It goes without saying that the Lakers rely heavily on their superstar point guard. Yes, LeBron James and a healthy Reaves obviously have a big impact, but Doncic is the center of the offense. The Cripto.com Arena is holding its breath, eagerly awaiting updates on its condition.
Before leaving the game, the NBA’s leading scorer scored 10 points on 3-of-10 shooting with four rebounds and two assists. He also committed an incredible five turnovers in just 16 minutes.
The Lakers are starting an eight-game homestand that will continue after the NBA All-Star break, so this is a good opportunity to build momentum. However, it would be extremely challenging to climb the Western Conference standings without 77. James is 41 years old and Reeves is on a minute limit.
With all the health obstacles currently standing in his way, Los Angeles probably just wants to get through next week and come out of the break refreshed. The Lakers (30-19) face an uphill battle against the 76ers (29-21). Clutchpoints will keep you updated on the latest Luka Doncic news.
