He didn\u2019t return to the court when the second half began, and the Lakers announced several minutes later that Don\u010di\u0107 was done for the night due to left leg soreness.<\/p>\n<p>Don\u010di\u0107 leads the NBA with 33.4 points per game in his first full season with the Lakers. The Slovenian superstar is also second in the league with 8.7 assists.<\/p>\n<p>He had 10 points, four rebounds and five turnovers during the Lakers\u2019 rough first half against the Sixers, missing all four of his 3-point attempts.<\/p>\n<p>Don\u010di\u0107 was the NBA\u2019s Western Conference player of the month for January after averaging 34.0 points on 50.6% shooting with 7.2 rebounds, 9.1 assists and 1.5 steals in a dominant stretch of play.<\/p>\n<p>He was also selected for his sixth All-Star game, voted in as a starter for the annual event at Intuit Dome in nearby Inglewood, California, next weekend.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"A left leg injury kept Luka Don\u010di\u0107 sidelined for the 2nd half Thursday.
