Lakers' Austin Reaves: Out vs. Milwaukee
Reaves (ankle) won't play in Thursday's preseason game against the Bucks due to ankle soreness, coach JJ Redick told Dan Woike of the Los Angeles Times.
Per Redick, neither the coaching nor the medical staff is concerned about Reaves' injury. Reaves' next chance to play will be against the Warriors on Oct. 15, but his main goal is to be ready for the regular-season opener against the Timberwolves on Oct. 22.

Lakers' Austin Reaves: Big night at charity stripe
Reaves scored 16 points (2-9 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 10-10 FT) while adding seven assists, five rebounds and three steals in 25 minutes during Friday's preseason loss to the Timberwolves.
While the fourth-year guard struggled to find his shot, Reaves still tied for the team lead in scoring on the night with rookie Dalton Knecht thanks to his success at the free-throw line. Reaves also led the Lakers in assists and steals, a good early sign that he figures to be a key figure for the team at both ends of the court this season. The 26-year-old posted career-best numbers in 2023-24 with 15.9 points, 5.5 assists, 1.9 threes and 0.8 steals over 82 regular-season games, but he may not have found his ceiling yet.

Lakers' Austin Reaves: Strong fourth quarter not enough
Reaves closed Monday's 108-106 loss to the Nuggets in Game 5 of the first round of the Western Conference playoffs with 19 points (6-11 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 6-8 FT), three rebounds, four assists, two blocks and three steals over 34 minutes.
Reaves scored nine of his 19 points in the fourth quarter, but it wasn't enough as the Lakers were bounced from the playoffs on another game-winning shot by Jamal Murray. After a slow start to the opening-round series, Reaves averaged 20.7 points, 4.3 assists, 3.0 rebounds and 2.3 steals in 35.0 minutes over the final three matchups, but Los Angeles won only one of those contests. The third-year wing appeared in all 82 regular-season games and averaged 15.9 points, 5.5 assists, 4.3 rebounds and 0.8 steals in 32.1 minutes -- all career highs. Ahead of the 2023-24 season, Reaves signed a three-year contract with a $14.9 million player option for 2026-27.

Lakers' Austin Reaves: Puts up 22 points in Game 3 loss
Reaves ended with 22 points (8-17 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 4-4 FT), five rebounds, three assists and four steals across 41 minutes during Thursday's 112-105 loss to the Nuggets in Game 3 of the first round of the Western Conference playoffs.
Reaves had two subpar showings in the first two games of the series, and even though he bounced back in Game 3, his efforts were not enough to lift the Lakers to victory. Reaves will aim to replicate these numbers in Game 4 on Saturday, as the Lakers need to win to avoid a first-round exit. Reaves is averaging 14.7 points per game in the series while shooting 45.9 percent from the field and 31.3 percent from deep.
