The Los Angeles Lakers had to play the second half without Luka Doncic on Thursday. They can only hope that's the extent of his time out.

Doncic exited the game against the Philadelphia 76ers with an apparent leg injury and was later announced to be out for the rest of the game, with the Lakers describing the injury as left leg soreness. The injury occurred in the second quarter, on a stepback from the paint.

Doncic was not pleased with the development.
