Overview
- Luka Doncic, who suffered a Grade 2 left hamstring strain on April 2, is in Madrid receiving an injection-based regenerative treatment to speed his recovery.
- Lakers head coach JJ Redick said Doncic is in good spirits and is pushing to do everything he can to return for the playoffs.
- Video from Madrid shows Doncic walking and signing autographs for fans outside his hotel, which has encouraged some supporters.
- The injury left him at 64 games played, and his camp plans to appeal award ineligibility by citing two excused absences for the birth of his child.
- His choice to rehab in Spain reflects years spent with Real Madrid and the wider availability in Europe of treatments such as platelet-rich plasma injections.
