"Doncic earned his second league scoring title this season with 33.5 points per game. He surged back into the most valuable player race with a magical March when he was just the second player to score 600 points in March, joining Michael Jordan."
"He had four consecutive games of 40 or more points and 12 of 30 or more before injuring his hamstring on April 2. He and guard Austin Reaves (oblique) are out indefinitely as the Lakers begin the playoffs Saturday against the Houston Rockets."
Luka Doncic will be eligible for postseason awards after the NBA ruled in his favor regarding the 65-game rule. He played 64 games before a hamstring injury ended his season. The collective bargaining agreement requires 65 games for eligibility, but Doncic and Cade Cunningham won appeals under extraordinary circumstances. Doncic missed games for his daughter's birth, while Cunningham missed games due to a collapsed lung. Doncic led the league in scoring with 33.5 points per game and had a remarkable March before his injury.
