The Los Angeles Lakers ruled Luka Dončić on Monday, a day before they play the Oklahoma City Thunder in Game 1 of their second-round playoff series.

Dončić remains sidelined with a Grade 2 hamstring strain. He missed the final six games of the regular season with the injury and the entirety of the Lakers’ first-round playoff win over Houston Rockets.

His availability moving forward against the Thunder remains unclear beyond Game 1. But being ruled out a day ahead of time is generally not a good sign of a quick return.
