Dončić's Hamstring Injury Halts Season, Fuels Legal Fight
4 Apr
Summary
- Luka Dončić sidelined for the season with a left hamstring strain.
- Playoffs begin April 18, with Dončić expected to miss them.
- He is also embroiled in a child support dispute with his ex-fiancée.
Los Angeles Lakers star Luka Dončić has been ruled out for the remainder of the season after sustaining a grade 2 left hamstring strain. The injury occurred during a game on Thursday, April 3.
Recovery typically takes at least a month, meaning Dončić will miss the NBA Playoffs, which commence on April 18. His representatives are seeking an 'Extraordinary Circumstances Challenge' for award eligibility.
This setback coincides with a child support dispute between Dončić and his ex-fiancée, Anamaria Goltes. Dončić claims Goltes filed for child support in Los Angeles improperly, asserting Slovenia is the appropriate jurisdiction as the family resides there.
Dončić's team stated he will continue to provide for his daughters, Gabriela, 2, and Olivia, 3 months, and seeks dismissal of the California case to resolve the matter in Slovenia.
