Lakers star guard Luka Doncic’s status is “day to day” because of a mild hamstring he was diagnosed with, coach JJ Redick told reporters ahead of Saturday’s home game against the Warriors. Doncic suffered the hamstring injury late in the second quarter of Thursday’s comeback win over the 76ers.

The Los Angeles Lakers lost Luka Doncic to injury in their last game. The Lakers secured a 119-115 victory over Joel Embiid and the Philadelphia 76ers on Thursday, but it came at quite a cost. Doncic left the game in the second quarter after picking up a hamstring injury.

At any rate, the Lakers hope to get back Doncic sooner rather than later as the team is 31-19 before Saturday's contest against the Warriors, putting them fifth in the Western Conference. After the Warriors game on Saturday, the next opportunity for Doncic to come back would be on Monday night against the Oklahoma City Thunder.

Los Angeles Lakers center Jaxson Hayes has been suspended by the NBA for a very unusual reason.
