Luka Doncic suffered a leg injury in the first half of the Los Angeles Lakers’ Thursday night game against the Philadelphia 76ers.
Doncic’s injury occurred with 3:30 left in the second quarter after facing a double team from two opposing players. The Lakers’ star turned the ball over on a bad pass as a result of the double-team and was seen grabbing the back of his left leg before checking out of the game and heading back to the locker room.
He did not return to the court with his team after halftime and did not start the third quarter, the Lakers ruling him out for the remainder of the game due to left leg soreness.
Doncic was seen in multiple videos showing a level of frustration after the injury.
He kicked the scorer’s table on his way off the court. Once in the tunnel, he was seen on the Spectrum SportsNet broadcast, displaying further frustration.
Doncic’s status will be closely monitored with the Lakers hosting the Golden State Warriors at home on Saturday, Feb. 7.
