Luka Dončić ruled out a day of ahead of Lakers-Thunder Game 1
The Los Angeles Lakers ruled Luka Dončić on Monday, a day before they play the Oklahoma City Thunder in Game 1 of their second-round playoff series.
Dončić remains sidelined with a Grade 2 hamstring strain. He missed the final six games of the regular season with the injury and the entirety of the Lakers’ first-round playoff win over Houston Rockets.
His availability moving forward against the Thunder remains unclear beyond Game 1. But being ruled out a day ahead of time is generally not a good sign of a quick return.
The Lakers won in Round 1 despite Dončić’s absence and Austin Reaves missing the first three games of the series. The Rockets were also playing shorthanded with Kevin Durant sidelined for five of the series’ six games.
