The Los Angeles Lakers' worst fears have been confirmed: Luka Doncic is set to miss the final five games of the regular season, with his playoff availability now in serious doubt.
MRI results on the Slovenian superstar revealed a left hamstring strain, sidelining him for an indefinite period.
This means the Lakers' talisman will definitely be absent for the remainder of the regular season, and his participation in the first round of the playoffs is currently considered highly questionable.
This is undoubtedly a massive blow for the Lakers, who currently sit third in the NBA's Western Conference. They lose their guiding force at a crucial juncture, a player who has been delivering an MVP-caliber season.
In 64 appearances for the Lakers this season, Doncic has posted impressive numbers, averaging 33.5 points, 7.7 rebounds, and 8.3 assists per game.
