In late 2024 and 2025, Doughty dealt with a wrist/ankle injury during his time with the Los Angeles Kings, with updates noting he was month-to-month or week-to-week at various points. This has kept him out of the Kings’ lineup for stretches, though timelines shifted as prognoses evolved.[2][4][5]

By May 2025 and into 2026, reporting indicated ongoing recovery and potential for return timelines, with some sources suggesting the team hoped for a comeback within a few weeks to a couple of months, depending on the diagnosed issue and surgical considerations.[1][4]

For the most current, year-by-year status, you’ll want the Kings’ official injury updates and recent credible outlets (ESPN, Fox Sports, CBS Sports, Daily Faceoff) since injury timelines can change quickly with rehab progress and any new medical decisions.[3][7][8]
