Luka Dončić MRI scare raises alarm for Lakers’ fragile core

Luka Dončić left the Lakers–Sixers matchup with a left hamstring injury and will undergo an MRI, adding another concern to an already fragile season. He limped off late in the second quarter and didn’t return, finishing with 10 points in 16 minutes. JJ Redick downplayed it as “just a sore hamstring,” but the Lakers opted for caution. With the team’s core trio barely sharing the floor this season, the timing couldn’t be worse.
