Luka Doncic exits Lakers loss with leg injury
INGLEWOOD, Calif. (AP) --- Luka Doncic suffered an injury and didn't return
after halftime of the Los Angeles Lakers' game against the Los Angeles Clippers
on Saturday night.
The Lakers said the NBA's leading scorer had a left leg contusion. Doncic leads
the league at 35.2 points per game, just ahead of Oklahoma City's Shai
Gilgeous-Alexander at 32.5.
"I saw him limping in the second quarter," coach JJ Redick said after the
Lakers' 108-88 loss, adding that he had no further update.
Doncic had 12 points, five rebounds and two assists while playing 19 minutes in
the first half, when the visiting Lakers trailed 54-39. He missed his first six
shots while picking up a technical foul.
"The worst thing about sports is injuries," LeBron James said afterward. "Not
just basketball, but sports in general. Whoever is in uniform, we have to go
out and execute at the utmost pace that we can. Then on the other end, we got
to defend."
James hadn't talked to Doncic, but said he noticed the Slovenian star limping.
Doncic's absence left the Lakers even more short-handed.
Rui Hachimura missed his first start of the season. The forward who averages
13.3 points has a sore groin that occurred after Thursday's game at Utah. He's
expected to be out 3 to 5 days.
The team hopes to get Deandre Ayton (left elbow) and Ais doustin Reaves (left
calf) back soon.
