Luka Doncic has described his hamstring strain as a "different injury than he's ever had." It has required a lengthy rehabilitation process for the Los Angeles Lakers star -- whose postseason status remains in some jeopardy, as he revealed to reporters on Wednesday.
Doncic, the NBA's leading scorer in the regular season, suffered the hamstring injury on April 2 in Oklahoma City. His Lakers team was pelted by the Thunder on Tuesday, 108-90, to begin the Western Conference semifinals. For some, that Doncic isn't returning imminently to help the Lakers is a sin that only a trade would fix.
But Doncic and the Lakers' medical staff understand that the six-time All-Star has been in no condition to play.
