Reaves avoids serious injury
Los Angeles Lakers guard Austin Reaves is currently day to day after hurting his left heel. Head coach JJ Redick shared the news after practice on Friday.
Reaves suffered the injury during L.A.'s 123-112 win against the Milwaukee Bucks on Wednesday. He left midway through the third quarter after landing awkwardly on his left foot following a missed dunk attempt. Arena X rays came back clean, and the team decided that extra medical imaging was not needed on Thursday morning.
When asked if the injury was minor, Redick stated that he assumes a day to day injury is minor.
Updates on Doncic, Sexton, and Grimes
Coach Redick also gave health updates for three other players. Guard Luka Doncic turned his right ankle late in the game against Milwaukee. Redick confirmed that Doncic is fine and should be available for L.A.'s Sunday game against the Phoenix Suns.
Backup guard Collin Sexton needed stitches above his right eye after a head butt collision with Bucks guard Ryan Rollins on Wednesday. Sexton has been cleared of any concussion symptoms and is listed as day to day.
Guard Quentin Grimes returned to live practice on Friday after missing two games with a sprained right pinkie finger. Grimes jammed the finger during a game against the Pistons and taped it up for practice. He said the swelling went down and his finger feels almost back to normal.
Lakers audit their top record
The Lakers hold an 11-2 record, which is currently the best record in the NBA. Redick took advantage of a three day break in the schedule to audit the squad.
His analytics staff made a 21 page presentation. Redick used this alongside film study before Friday's practice to go over the team's offensive and defensive performance.
Forward Ziaire Williams mentioned that the meeting highlighted plenty of good things alongside areas that need work. He noted that even though the team sits first in the Western Conference, the presentation showed enough mistakes to keep everyone honest.
