The Lakers that showed up vs the Thunder last night...

Lakers fans waking up realizing that last night was not a dream and they in fact did get sonned by the Thunder and Luka got injured...

The Lakers against the Thunder tonight 😭💀

Just in on @SportsCenter – Lakers’ Luka Doncic will be sidelined indefinitely heading into the playoffs with a Grade 2 left hamstring strain:

Statement from Luka Doncic’s agent Bill Duffy of WME Basketball: "This season, Luka Dončić has performed at a historic level, leading the league in scoring, carrying the Lakers to third place in the Western Conference and placing himself in the middle of one of the most tightly contested MVP races in memory. To ensure that Luka’s incredible accomplishments this season are rightly honored and he can be considered for the league’s end-of-season awards, we intend to apply for an “Extraordinary Circumstances Challenge” to the 65-game rule. Luka missed two games this season for the birth of his second child in Slovenia. His daughter was born on Dec. 4 on another continent, and yet he was back in the United States competing with his team on Dec. 6. Luka has gone to great lengths to show up for his team and this league this season. His record-breaking season deserves to be noted in the history books, despite last night’s unfortunate injury and other extraordinary circumstances. We look forward to working with the NBAPA and the league office to ensure a fair outcome in this matter."

Per Lakers: Luka Dončić has been diagnosed with a Grade 2 left hamstring strain and will be out for the remainder of the regular season.

Los Angeles Lakers star Luka Doncic is out indefinitely due to a left hamstring injury, sources tell me and @mcten. He will miss the remainder of the regular season and his status is uncertain beyond that.

"Is Luka and Austin Reaves two guys that you build around that's gonna take you to the promised land? In my opinion, it's no." @KendrickPerkins weighs in on whether the Lakers can truly contend with Luka Doncic and Austin Reaves as their core 👀⤵️

"The Lakers are not ready to play with the big boys just yet." @DGreen_14, @malika_andrews and @KendrickPerkins break down how the Thunder were able to DOMINATE the Lakers 😳

Rough outcome last night on several levels for the Lakers. As if getting crushed (43 pts) by arguably the best team in the league wasn't bad enough, Luka Doncic could miss the rest of the regular season (five games) with the hamstring injury, which would knock him out of the running for NBA awards. He can't miss one more game in the final five due to the 65-game rule. So unfortunate considering the crazy season he's had in LA.

Happy Birthday, Vando 🎉

Back-to-back standout performances 👏 TONIGHT: 27 PTS, 5 REB, 9 AST, 7 3PM TUESDAY: 30 PTS, 6 REB, 2 STL, 7 3PM Jrue Holiday (35yr, 295d) joins Steph, LeBron, Harden, and KD as the only players, age 35 or older, to record 25+ PTS, 5+ REB, and 5+ 3PM in back-to-back games!
