Dealing with a depleted backcourt and the playoffs drawing ever closer, Luka Doncic is doing everything he can to get back to the Los Angeles Lakers.

Doncic is heading to Europe to seek specialized medical treatment on his Grade 2 left hamstring strain in hopes of expediting his return to play, ESPN’s Shams Charania reported Sunday.

The supertar guard has been out since suffering an injury against the Oklahoma City Thunder on Thursday, and it was initially announced that he would miss the remainder of the regular season. His timeline to return was unclear and his status for the post-season was uncertain.

Grade 2 hamstring strains sometimes require several weeks of recovery, but Doncic also has prior experience with hamstring issues. He missed four games right before the All-Star break with another left hamstring strain, but returned to the lineup after the break.

Doncic is putting up spectacular numbers in his first full campaign with the Lakers, who acquired the Slovenian superstar from the Mavericks last season. He is averaging 33.5 points, 8.3 assists and 7.7 rebounds in 64 games for Los Angeles this season.

The decision to expedite his recovery process comes after the Lakers announced that fellow guard Austin Reaves would be out four to six weeks with an oblique injury, ruling him out for the remainder of the regular season into the playoffs.

Following Sunday’s loss to the Dallas Mavericks, the Lakers are 50-28 and are third in the Western Conference with four games to go.
