"Los Angeles Lakers star Luka Doncic was forced off late in the second quarter and ruled out for the remainder of Thursday's 119-115 win over the Philadelphia 76ers because of a left hamstring issue. The Lakers initially described the problem as left leg soreness, but head coach JJ Redick confirmed Doncic will undergo an MRI on Friday to assess the injury further."
""Yeah, he felt some soreness in his hamstring, so he didn't feel like it was good enough to go back in," Redick said. "Neither did our medical staff, so we held him out. And he'll get some imaging. I mean, too early to say if there's an injury, but just had a sore hamstring." Doncic finished with 10 points on 3-of-10 shooting, adding four rebounds, two assists and five turnovers in 16 minutes before leaving the game with 3:03 remaining in the first half."
"The injury is the latest concern for Doncic, who has already missed eight games this season because of various leg issues. He entered the night leading the NBA in scoring at 33.4 points per game, while also averaging 8.7 assists and 7.9 rebounds."
