Los Angeles Lakers fans were watching Luka Doncic carve up Latvia for his native Slovenia before he suffered a knee injury in the third quarter. Things did not look good as a teammate fell on his leg. Doncic was clearly in pain and quickly limped to the locker room. He was ruled out for the remainder of the game, but there has been no definitive update yet. Reports suggest Luka wanted to return, but the medical staff wouldn’t allow it.
Luka just signed a max extension with the Lakers. The 26-year-old is one of the five best players in the world and is worth every penny, which made Saturday’s injury even more terrifying.
