Doncic was favoring his right leg after a teammate got pushed into him. The five-time All-NBA guard remained on the floor for several moments before gingerly walking back to the locker room on his own.
Lakers fans were able to breathe a sigh of relief, however, after Doncic returned to the bench shortly thereafter.
Signed to a three-year, $165 million contract extension earlier this month, Doncic averaged 28.2 points, 8.1 rebounds and 7.5 assists in 28 games (all starts) after being acquired by the Lakers in a three-team deal on Feb. 2.
Doncic, 26, is averaging 28.6 points, 8.6 rebounds and 8.2 assists in 450 career games (all starts) with the Dallas Mavericks (2018-25) and Lakers.
