Lakers guard Luka Doncic has suffered a season-ending injury to his left hamstring, but his agent believes his MVP chances remain intact. Doncic, who has played 64 games this season, was set to miss the entire regular season after injuring his hamstring on Thursday night.

NBA insider Shams Charania reported that Doncic's postseason status remains unclear, but his agent, Bill Duffy, plans to file an Extraordinary Circumstances Challenge appeal to the 65-game rule.

Doncic has led the league in scoring this season, averaging 33.5-33.8 points, 7.7-7.8 rebounds, and 8.3-8.4 assists per game. His agent believes his record-breaking season deserves to be noted in the history books, despite the unfortunate injury.

The Lakers will host a rematch with the Thunder on April 7, but Doncic's status for the postseason remains uncertain.
