Latest update on the injuries of Luka Doncic and Jalen Williams

Jalen Williams is ready to return to the court. The Oklahoma City Thunder star will make his comeback this Monday in the away game against Los Angeles Lakers after being removed from the injured list on Sunday. The forward has been out of play since January 17 when he suffered a right hamstring strain and also missed the first month of the season while recovering from a wrist operation.

Williams' return contrasts with the situation of Luka Doncic, who will miss his second consecutive game against the Thunder. The Slovenian hasn't played since limping off the court in the second quarter of the victory against the Philadelphia 76ers last Thursday and was also unavailable for the win against the Golden State Warriors on Saturday. According to Lakers coach JJ Redick, Doncic was diagnosed with a "mild" left hamstring strain.

The Lakers face a week with several home games as they will host the San Antonio Spurs on Tuesday and the Dallas Mavericks on Thursday, in a special game against Doncic's former team. Additionally, the All-Star Game will be held next Sunday at the Intuit Dome in Los Angeles. Doncic was the most voted player in the All-Star elections, with over 3.4 million votes, earning his sixth selection in eight NBA seasons.

Luka Doncic's Statistics

Statistically, Doncic leads the league in scoring with 32.8 points per game, along with averaging 8.6 assists and 7.8 rebounds. This season, he has missed nine games due to various leg issues, with the Lakers holding a 5-4 record in his absence. The lack of consistency has also affected the trio of Doncic, LeBron James, and Austin Reaves, who have only shared the court in 10 of the 51 games played by the Los Angeles team so far.
