OKLAHOMA CITY — Luka Doncic’s left hamstring injury could have long-term implications not only on the Lakers’ regular season, but also their postseason fate. But outside of the Lakers, Doncic’s injury could also have ripple effects throughout the NBA once it’s time to vote for end-of-season awards because of the league’s requirement for certain league honors. Doncic, who had an outside shot at competing for league MVP and was likely to be named to the All-NBA first team for the sixth time in his career, will be one game shy of the 65 games played required to be eligible for end-of-season awards after the Lakers announced on Friday that Doncic will miss the remainder of the regular season because of a Grade 2 strained hamstring.
