He then exited the stadium midway through the game to travel to hospital for further tests.
Lockyer was recently voted as Luton's Player of the Season.
The Wales international scored a crucial goal as Luton beat Sunderland in the play-off semi-finals earlier this month.
Luton went on to beat Coventry 6-5 in a penalty shootout after drawing 1-1 over 120 minutes of play.
The Hatters will play in England's top division next season for the first time since 1992.
