Reaves Out for Sunday Match
Los Angeles Lakers guard Austin Reaves will not play against the Phoenix Suns on Sunday. The team confirmed that the guard is dealing with a left heel bruise.
Lakers coach JJ Redick stated that Reaves is considered day to day while recovering. The guard picked up the injury during a 123-112 win against the Milwaukee Bucks on Wednesday, when he landed awkwardly after missing a dunk on a fast break.
Recovery Status and Season Stats
Reaves was present at practice on Saturday, but he did not participate on the court. He stood on the sidelines wearing slide sandals with no boot or wrap on his left foot. Redick explained that Reaves stayed off his feet to help the injury heal.
Sitting out is a blow given how well Reaves has played this season. He is averaging 24.7 points, 4.7 assists, and 3.3 rebounds per game. He has shot 51.3 percent from the field, 40.9 percent from three point range, and 91.5 percent from the free throw line.
Upcoming Games and Roster News
Los Angeles holds a record of 11 wins and 2 losses, tying them with the San Antonio Spurs for the best record in the league. Sunday starts a run of three games in four days. After visiting Phoenix, who have 5 wins and 6 losses, the Lakers host the 4 and 8 Charlotte Hornets on Tuesday and the 1 and 12 Utah Jazz on Wednesday.
Other players are also dealing with health issues. Backup guard Collin Sexton is questionable after getting stitches above his right eye against Milwaukee. Sexton trained Saturday and plans to play using goggles. Reserves Bronny James Jr. is questionable with an illness, while Adou Thiero is questionable due to a left ankle sprain. Rookie Cameron Carr is ruled out with an illness.
