Doncic was hobbling after a drive attempt against Thunder wing Jalen Williams midway through the third, limping to stay off his left leg before laying down underneath the basket by the Thunders’ bench. 

He appeared to aggravate a left hamstring ailment that he was dealing with in the first half but tried to play through.
