Top Austin Reaves News

  • Lakers' Austin Reaves: Questionable for Game 4

    Reaves (oblique) is questionable for Sunday's Game 4 in Houston, Dan Woike of The Athletic reports.

    If Reaves is cleared for Sunday's game, he'll likely have some sort of minutes restriction. His return would likely translate to fewer minutes for Rui Hachimura and Luke Kennard.

  • Lakers' Austin Reaves: Taking shots Saturday

    Reaves (oblique) will put up shots at the arena Saturday, according to Dave McMenamin of ESPN.com.

    Reaves missed the final stretch of the regular season and was unavailable for the first three games of the postseason due to an oblique strain. He carried a questionable designation heading into Friday's 112-108 win over the Rockets, though he was ultimately ruled out. Head coach JJ Redick plans to provide an update Saturday afternoon on Reaves' status for Game 4. For now, the 27-year-old can be considered questionable for that contest. If Reaves can't suit up Sunday, Rui Hachimura, Marcus Smart and Luke Kennard should continue to take on expanded roles offensively behind LeBron James.

  • Lakers' Austin Reaves: Won't play Friday

    Reaves (oblique) has been ruled out for Friday's Game 3 of the Western Conference first-round series against Houston, Dave McMenamin of ESPN.com reports.

    After being upgraded to questionable, Reaves has been ruled out for an eighth consecutive contest due to a left oblique strain. The 27-year-old guard can be considered questionable for Sunday's Game 4 in Houston. With Reaves sidelined, Luke Kennard should continue to take on an expanded role.

  • Lakers' Austin Reaves: Questionable for Game 3

    Reaves (oblique) is questionable for Game 3 against the Rockets on Friday, Brett Siegel of ClutchPoints.com reports.

    This report aligns with information that was received earlier in the week that Reaves could return at some point during the first round of the Western Conference playoffs. He'll presumably need to clear a few more hurdles in order to suit up Friday night, but overall, this is a great sign for the Lakers. Another update on Reaves' availability should arrive closer to tipoff.

  • Lakers' Austin Reaves: Could return later in quarterfinals

    ESPN's Shams Charania reported Tuesday on NBA Today that Reaves (oblique) is on track to return late during the first round of the Western Conference playoffs against the Rockets.

    Reaves, who is further along than Luka Doncic (hamstring) in their respective rehab processes, has begun 1-on-1 on-court work but still needs to progress to 3-on-3 and 5-on-5 activities. Reaves might be more likely to return if the Lakers advance to the second round, but it sounds like the door is open for him to get back into the lineup later this series. In the meantime, Luke Kennard and Marcus Smart will try to help pick up the slack in the backcourt.

  • Lakers' Austin Reaves: Confirmed out for Game 2

    Reaves (oblique) has been ruled out for Tuesday's Game 2 of the first-round series against the Rockets.

    Reaves has missed the past six games due to a left oblique strain and will remain sidelined, as expected, while the Lakers look to extend their series lead to 2-0. An update on Reaves and Luka Doncic's (hamstring) status and potential return is expected in the coming days, but for now Los Angeles will continue to lean on Luke Kennard, who poured in 27 points in the Game 1 victory.

  • Lakers' Austin Reaves: Set to miss at least another week

    Reaves (oblique) is expected to miss at least one more week, per Khobi Price of The California Post.

    Neither Reaves nor Luka Doncic (hamstring) will be re-evaluated this week, leaving both players in serious jeopardy of missing Los Angeles' first-round playoff series against the Rockets. LeBron James will have to do the heavy lifting offensively for the Lakers, and the likes of Marcus Smart, Jake LaRavia and Rui Hachimura will also be asked to step up.
