Luka Doncic has been ruled out of the regular season after sustaining a Grade 2 left hamstring strain against the Oklahoma City Thunder on Thursday.
An expert revealed that Doncic could be back during the playoffs, providing massive relief to the Los Angeles Lakers.
The 27-year-old guard has been instrumental in driving the Lakers to third place in the Western Conference, averaging 33.5 points, 8.3 assists and 7.7 rebounds per game.
His standout March run included 13 games with 30 or more points, highlighted by seven 40-point performances, including outings of 51 and 60.
Doncic's agent has already moved to address the possibility of him missing the playoffs, seeking an exception to ensure a fair outcome in the matter.
