The Los Angeles Lakers went down to Houston to take on the Rockets in a preview of a potential playoff matchup. However, things quickly went sideways, and one moment immediately caught attention. Unfortunately, it involved Los Angeles Lakers superstar guard Luka Doncic and a familiar issue resurfacing yet again. Here’s what happened to him.
During the game, many viewers noticed that Doncic had started bleeding from his left knee after a play in which he dove for a loose ball. The white compression sleeve he usually wears on his leg was marked with his blood, clear to anyone watching, both in the arena and on the broadcast.

This is hardly new for the Slovenian superstar, who has dealt with this condition multiple times throughout his career, dating back to his days in Dallas.
This is a developing story.
