The Los Angeles Lakers have already clinched a play-off spot
Los Angeles Lakers star Luka Doncic will miss the remainder of the regular NBA season with a hamstring injury.
The Slovenian, 37, had played himself into contention for the league's Most Valuable Player (MVP) award during an outstanding March in which he became only the 10th player in history to score 600 points in a single month.
But he will miss the final five regular season games after suffering a grade two strain of his left hamstring during Thursday's heavy loss to Oklahoma City Thunder.
The Lakers have not provided a timetable for Doncic's return after he had a scan on Friday - just two weeks before the start of the NBA play-offs on 18 April.
