Luka Dončić remains sidelined with a hamstring strain, sustained against the Thunder in April, and is not expected to return in the first round of the playoffs. Despite this, Lakers head coach JJ Redick noted that Dončić is starting court work, and both he and Austin Reaves have been seen at the practice facility as the team leads 2-0 against the Rockets. Dončić, the NBA scoring champion, has been recognized for his achievements despite his injury. The hope is for his return if the Lakers advance further in the playoffs.
