Lakers<\/a> all-star guard Luka Doncic<\/a> left the game in the second quarter with left leg soreness, according to the team, and didn\u2019t return to the game against the Philadelphia 76ers Thursday night at Crypto.com Arena.<\/p>\n

Doncic walked back to the locker room holding his left leg late in the second quarter.<\/p>\n

Doncic tried to throw a pass to Maxi Kleber that resulted in a turnover with about 3:45 left in the second quarter. He turned to run back up the court and grabbed the back of his left leg.<\/p>\n

Doncic went up and down the court several times, grimacing in pain.<\/p>\n

When Lakers coach JJ Redick called a timeout with 3:03 left in the second quarter, Doncic stayed on the court bent over. He gingerly walked to the bench and then walked to the locker room.<\/p>\n

Doncic had scored 10 points on three-for-10 shooting, 0-for-4 on three-pointers. He was four-for-four from the free-throw line and had four rebounds and two assists.<\/p>\n

He did not return for the second half. Rui Hachimura started the third quarter in Doncic\u2019s place.<\/p>\n

Doncic leads the NBA in scoring, averaging 33.4 points per game, and he is third in assists, averaging 8.7 per game.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Lakers all-star guard Luka Doncic left the game in the second quarter with left leg soreness, according to…\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":569821,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":"","_share_on_mastodon":"0"},"categories":[5123],"tags":[200841,38124,1582,276,75995,281,2961,247919,247920,81740,123228,224,5337,3365,6566,449,25927,53900,75570,38272],"class_list":["post-569820","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-los-angeles","tag-76er","tag-assist","tag-ca","tag-california","tag-com-arena","tag-court","tag-la","tag-lakers-game","tag-left-leg-soreness","tag-leg-injury","tag-locker-room","tag-los-angeles","tag-losangeles","tag-luka-doncic","tag-place","tag-point","tag-rui-hachimura","tag-scoring","tag-second-quarter","tag-third-quarter"],"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@us\/116022124474023046","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/569820","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=569820"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/569820\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/569821"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=569820"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=569820"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=569820"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
