    Doncic went to the locker room during the third quarter of Thursday's game against the Thunder with an apparent left hamstring injury, Thuc Nhi Nguyen of the Los Angeles Times reports.

    Suns' Jalen Green: Puts up team-high 25 points

    Green closed Thursday's 127-107 loss to the Hornets with 25 points (10-19 FG, 3-6 3Pt, 2-2 FT), four rebounds, seven assists, one block and two steals in 34 minutes.

    Green bounced back from a sluggish eight-point showing Tuesday against the Magic by draining 52.6 percent of his field-goal attempts Thursday night. He led the Suns in scoring and was active as a playmaker, as he tied his season high in assists. Green has also been a force on the defensive end of late, recording two steals in three straight matchups.

    Duren struggled from the charity stripe but turned in a fairly efficient performance from the field and finished as Detroit's second-leading scorer. The star big man also grabbed a game-high mark in rebounds, securing his fifth double-double over his last six outings. Additionally, the 22-year-old recorded at least one block for a fifth straight game, logging two swats in three of them.

    Lakers' Austin Reaves: Returns Thursday

    Reaves (back) returned to Thursday's game against the Thunder with 9:40 remaining in the second quarter.

    Reaves exited to the locker room late in the opening quarter due to an apparent lower-back issue. He returned to the court shortly thereafter but was still seen grabbing at the left side of his lower back, so the issue may be worth monitoring for the remainder of the contest.
