"Lakers star Luka Doncic is out indefinitely with a Grade 2 right hamstring injury, sources told ESPN's Shams Charania and Dave McMenamin. He will miss the rest of the regular season and his availability for the playoffs is uncertain."
"In the 20 minutes after the news broke, the Lakers' title chances dropped from 30-1 to 100-1, per DraftKings sportsbook."
"This season, Luka Dončić has performed at a historic level, leading the league in scoring, carrying the Lakers to third place in the Western Conference."
As the 2025-26 NBA regular season nears its end, attention shifts to the draft lottery and offseason strategies for eliminated teams. The 2026 draft is anticipated to be deep with talent, prompting significant tanking efforts. Stephen Curry is expected to return for the Warriors, while Luka Doncic will miss the rest of the season due to a hamstring injury, severely impacting the Lakers' title chances. Doncic's agent plans to apply for an exception to the 65-game rule due to his historic performance this season.
