LOS ANGELES (AP) — NBA scoring leader Luka Doncic has left the Los Angeles Lakers’ game against Philadelphia on Thursday night with a left leg injury.

Doncic limped to the locker room with 3:03 left in the first half after apparently hurting his leg on the far end of the court moments earlier. He didn’t return to the court when the second half began, and the Lakers announced several minutes later that Doncic was done for the night due to left leg soreness.
