Doncic (hamstring) would likely miss the beginning of the Western Conference Semifinals if the Lakers advance past the Rockets, ESPN's Shams Charania reports.

After Houston's win on Sunday, the Lakers hold a 3-1 lead over the Rockets and would face the Thunder, who swept the Suns, in the next round if they can win one of the next three games, which appears likely, especially with Kevin Durant (ankle) not expected to suit up. Charania notes that Doncic remains on a slow path to a full recovery. The superstar point guard has ramped up his workload a bit in recent days, but he hasn't been cleared to begin scrimmaging yet. Los Angeles' franchise player has been sidelined since the beginning of April with a Grade 2 hamstring strain.
