Lakers star Luka Doncic ruled out for Game 4 vs. Rockets

Lakers star Luka Doncic has been ruled out for Game 4 against the Houston Rockets on Sunday, April 24, due to a hamstring injury he suffered on April 2 against the Oklahoma City Thunder. Despite his absence, the Lakers hold a 3-0 series lead and have the opportunity to complete a sweep, which would be their first since eliminating the Utah Jazz 4-0 in the 2009-10 playoffs. Doncic, who led the NBA this season with 33.5 points per game, has not played since sustaining the injury.
