Top Austin Reaves News

  • 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.

  • Lakers' Austin Reaves: Will miss rest of regular season

    Reaves (oblique) will miss the rest of the 2025-26 regular season and is expected to be sidelined for around four to six weeks, according to Shams Charania of ESPN.

    Reaves not only will miss the rest of the regular season, but the injury will sideline him for around four to six weeks, meaning he's also expected to miss the first round of the 2026 NBA Playoffs. This is a huge loss for the Lakers, as they also recently lost Luka Doncic (hamstring), meaning the burden on offense will go through LeBron James. Reaves averaged 23.3 points, 4.7 rebounds, 5.5 assists and 1.1 steals per game in 51 regular-season contests, and his ability to return before the start of the playoffs will be key for the Lakers' chances to make a deep playoff run. Expect Luke Kennard and Bronny James to see expanded roles in the backcourt with both Reaves and Doncic sidelined.

  • Lakers' Austin Reaves: Undergoes Imaging

    Reaves (rib/oblique) underwent imaging recently and may not play in Sunday's game against Dallas, Khobi Price of The California Post reports.

    Reaaves underwent imaging to address injuries to his ribs and oblique. While the results are still pending and his official status for Sunday's meeting with Dallas hasn't been disclosed, it appears there's a chance he won't be on the floor for that contest. The 27-year-old has also been playing through a back injury. With the team already down Luka Doncic (hamstring) for at least the rest of the regular season, the latest update regarding Reaves means coach JJ Redick might be down another top producer. If that is the case, LeBron James may find himself handling the ball more, with Luke Kennard and Kobe Bufkin in line to see increased action at the point guard position.

  • Lakers' Austin Reaves: Plays through back issue

    Reaves posted 15 points (5-9 FG, 2-3 3Pt, 3-3 FT), four rebounds and one assist in 27 minutes during Thursday's 139-96 loss to the Thunder.

    Reaves picked up a back injury in this contest, which forced him to the locker room in the second quarter, but he was able to finish out the game. However, his minutes were held in check by the lopsided score. Luka Doncic tweaked his hamstring Thursday, and if he misses time, Reaves may be asked to shoulder a lot more usage.

  • Lakers' Austin Reaves: Returns Thursday

    Reaves (back) returned to Thursday's game against the Thunder with 9:40 remaining in the second quarter.

    Reaves exited to the locker room late in the opening quarter due to an apparent lower-back issue. He returned to the court shortly thereafter but was still seen grabbing at the left side of his lower back, so the issue may be worth monitoring for the remainder of the contest.

  • Lakers' Austin Reaves: Exits to locker room

    Reaves exited to the locker room in the first quarter of Thursday's game against the Thunder due to an apparent lower-back issue, Khobi Price of The California Post reports.

    Reaves was seen grabbing at the left side of his lower back for several minutes before checking out and heading back to the locker room with 2:25 remaining in the opening quarter. He can be considered questionable to return until more information comes to light.
