The Los Angeles Lakers saw Luka Doncic suffer an injury in the first half against the LA Clippers on Dec. 20, and it appeared to be a calf problem. The Lakers officially called it a lower left leg contusion, but that isn’t what it looked like. Even Lakers announcer Stu Lantz was quick to say it looked like a calf issue.
Every NBA fan hates to hear those words after Jayson Tatum and Tyrese Haliburton had those turn into Achilles injuries in the playoffs. Luka was limping in the opening 24 minutes, but stayed in the game.
