Austin Reaves’ injury is a right calf soreness that forced him to exit Friday’s game against the Clippers after just nine minutes. He’s been ruled out for the remainder of the game as a precautionary measure, with an MRI scheduled for Saturday to determine the severity of the injury.
Reaves has been a crucial player for the Lakers this season, averaging 34.7 minutes per game and playing in 51 of the team’s 56 games. His absence, combined with Rui Hachimura’s knee injury, would put significant pressure on LeBron James and Luka Doncic to carry the offense.
The Lakers’ upcoming schedule is challenging, with games every other day until March 10, followed by six games in eight days with multiple back-to-backs. Reaves’ injury status will be closely monitored, and his availability for Sunday’s rematch against the Clippers remains uncertain.
