Los Angeles Lakers guard Luka Doncic still has no timetable for his return from a Grade 2 hamstring strain, according to Cassidy Hubbarth of NBA On Prime. There's been no timeline, there has been some progress on the court. He's now doing some movement work in drills, getting up shots, but it is controlled, said Hubbarth on Friday night. The Lakers, who eliminated the Rockets in Game 6 of the first round, are now set to face the Thunder starting Tuesday.
Hubbarth added that Doncic still has not advanced to any contact work. He hasn't advanced to 1-on-1 or full contact work yet, and he's not into any scrimmages. So it's a little more than just spot shooting but still a step away from anything live ... this remains a slow build towards a return, not an imminent one, said Hubbarth. It was reported last week that Doncic is unlikely to play in the second round.
