The Los Angeles Lakers’ Season is OVER
The Los Angeles Lakers have turned around their season in a big way and have been playing great basketball with the NBA Playoffs right around the corner. But, unfortunately Luka Doncic has suffered a grade two hamstring strain against the Oklahoma City Thunder which will keep him out the rest of the NBA regular season and likely for the first round of the NBA Playoffs. It’s a devastating blow that puts a lot of pressure on LeBron James and Austin Reaves and likely ends all chances of making a run

Thanks, rob for the trades , for getting Luka help..
When he comes back, he’ll be at 70% for the whole season it’s like the Warriors last year with Steph Curry during the playoffs hamstring
Had a feeling this was gonna happen
These players don’t get a chance to recover that’s why they always getting injured injured body needs time to heal
brons time…. lets go
The LAKERS ARE GOING TO SURPRISE YOU AND WIN THE 🏀 PLAYOFFS!!! LUKA & ALL LAKERS will be wearing CHAMPIONSHIP RINGS!!! IT WILL BE LEBRON’S 5TH & LUKA’s 1ST OF MANY!!! TOGETHER THIS TEAM IS UNSTOPPABLE
Lakers biggest asset=top heavy
Lakers biggest weakness= top heavy
They should just shut him down for the year and prep for the offseason when they can really build their team around him. This current roster wasn't good enough for a title run without major injuries to both SA and OKC anyway.
It’s annoying because you and everyone knows the Lakers not winning even with Luka. That’s why OKC blew them out so bad. As the defending champs they’re tired of getting disrespected by casuals who talk about the Lakers all day.
Reaves is about to avg 31 and 10 .
I think they still have a shot vs the rockets I think if AR plays like a all state LeBron James steps up Marcus smart makes big play deffence and the bench goes off I think they could beat the rockets in 7 games
It ain’t over till they stop playing games 😂
The only player that should be on the lakers from this season moving forward is Luka. Fully reset
If smart comes back and brings defense they can get out of round 1. You saying they are bad defensively is a bit misleading because in march they were the 8th best defense and a lot of that was without smart who is the best player plus minus on the lakers.
Also you forget when AR beat the wolves without bron or Luka. Wolves don’t wanna see that dude from Arkansas
BS it is not over till it actually is.
Football fans will understand how bad they are especially Chelsea fans. Reece James and Romeo Lavia
Bronny James reckoning incoming
I’m delusional
I keep hearing people say “You can’t ask a 41 year old LeBron to step up in Luka’s absence.” If that’s the case then he needs to be gone. If we can’t count on him then what’s the point?
no way in any universe that lakers wins first round without luka, period.
Rockets might actually make the second round this year
I honestly don’t think it’s that serious. I feel like he’s just resting and will be back in the playoffs. I still don’t believe this is over.
yeah, build the team around someone who cant stop eating and gaining weight. He looks a bit heavier than the slim luka who came in at the start.
Luka will constantly have these injuries and will be Zion-lite 🤣
If regular people have access to bp157 and tb500 what more in the NBA
I think this Luka's injury is more psychological than physical. Anyway it's a burnout injury.
Luka is a great player. Not better than Larry Bird.
Bron boutta go 100% bron for all and average 40
I’m a Lakers fan and Luka is key to unlocking a championship run. 🔑 We don’t want to watch a LeBron led playoffs. 😢
The King is gona show up.👑👑👑
Probably back for 2nd round if they get thru the first.
There season is most definitely not over
As a Lakers fan, I have to agree. It was an exciting ride.
People forgettin lebron goes ballistic in the playoffs lmao the fuckery shall continue
Could the lakers start Luka and immediately call a timeout or intentionally foul to get him out so that way he “plays” in the 65 games necessary?
Now the lakers need a 2018 Lebron to even make it to the 2nd round for luka's return, but i don't think we will ever get that
As a Lakers fan I don’t wanna see him back this postseason. We are not winning the finals, and any finals future is dependent on Luka
Priority 1 is Luka's health. I would not rush him back at all and not let him play again until he's 100% have him good to go for opening night next season.
2nd the Lakers had a solid season and an incredible march. Luka was insane an mvp worthy season and no doubt first team all NBA year. That said this lakers roster had far to many flaws and as seen vs okc they just weren't gonna compete with them this year with this roster. Gotta prioritize putting together a roster that fits, has depth and has a lot of players who can defend but can also shoot/ be postive on offense. Think guys like Grimes, Ellis, Dosunmu, Oubre Jr, etc. Ideally they grab a few players like that. They draft a defensive minded center in first round of draft. Then they try to either pry away peyton watson from Denver or Eason from Houston as starting 3 and player in restricted free agency. Assuming they cant get them they use the remaining 2 firsts to add a legit starting 3 and d player and then they go into next season with or without Lebron back as ideally a top 10 defensive team and between Luka and AR a top 10 offense. That's the path to winning a championship. Obviously health has to go there way. The rookie they draft needs to hit. They need to fill the roster and all of those are easier said than done not to mention okc and san antonio will still exist but i believe a roster like that will have a significant better shot at competing with those teams. Cause this roster has no shot. As good as Luka, AR and Bron have been/ could be. The other 6 or 7 guys have to make a impact and they just dont have that with this current roster.
Better than excruciating late playoff exit. Everybodys seasons are over until OKC is this good
its a team sport, carrying a team wrecks your body
He did beat ur Thunder in a 7-game series while injured with SGA being older than Luka and more in his prime than Luka, but yeah, shouldn't risk his health in a wasted "DominAyton" year.
They have OKC and a bunch of tanking teams LeBron and Reaves will take care of business yall remember last year March LeBron was the player of the month and went to top 5 in mvp
Trade revs
I would trade revs for drymon green before he retires
I doubt a hamstring strain will affect the rest of your career, unless you are not lettting it heal.
Jalen Green dealt with his hamstring injury most of the season and even when we was cleared to play, he would reaggravate it and miss more time.
Shams just announced Reaves is out 4-6 weeks as well. Brutal for LA
reaves out for season too
