Lakers guard Luka Doncic suffered a left hamstring injury during a loss to the Oklahoma City Thunder, prompting an MRI to assess the extent of the injury.
Doncic's agent plans to file an Extraordinary Circumstances Challenge to make him eligible for this year's MVP award, despite missing games due to injury.
The Extraordinary Circumstances Challenge is a formal grievance process in the NBA Collective Bargaining Agreement that allows players to appeal for major end-of-season awards if they fall short of the 65-game rule.
To qualify, players must prove that extraordinary circumstances made it impracticable for them to play in missed games, they would have met the 65-game requirement if they had played, and it would be unjust to exclude them from award eligibility.
