Top Austin Reaves News

  • Lakers' Austin Reaves: Logs massive double-double in loss

    Reaves chipped in 37 points (13-26 FG, 4-10 3Pt, 7-7 FT), eight rebounds, 13 assists and four steals over 39 minutes during Friday's 131-126 loss to the Nuggets.

    Reaves was brilliant despite the end result, and he helped keep the Lakers competitive amid absences from Luka Doncic (calf), LeBron James (groin) and Rui Hachimura (knee). The Nuggets have been hemlock for Los Angeles in the playoffs for two consecutive years, but the Lakers' ability to keep up without their marquee players is an encouraging sign. Reaves will likely continue be a top-three scoring option for LA down the stretch.

  • Lakers' Austin Reaves: Another solid showing

    Reaves recorded 28 points (10-17 FG, 4-7 3Pt, 4-4 FT), eight rebounds and three assists across 36 minutes during Thursday's 126-106 loss to the Bucks.

    Reaves finished just two boards away from a triple-double in the loss to the Nets on Monday, and he also finished two rebounds shy, but this time from a double-double, in the Lakers' third straight loss Thursday. Reaves surpassed the 15-point mark for a third consecutive game, and he should continue to have higher usage for as long as LeBron James (groin) remains sidelined.

  • Lakers' Austin Reaves: Flirts with triple-double in loss

    Reaves amassed 17 points (3-14 FG, 1-5 3Pt, 10-11 FT), eight rebounds, 10 assists and one block over 36 minutes during Monday's 111-108 loss to the Nets.

    Reaves shot the ball poorly but salvaged a rough shooting night with high-volume production across multiple categories, falling just two rebounds short of a triple-double. With LeBron James (groin) sidelined for at least one week, Reaves is going to be charged with handling the ball a bit more. While this should result in an increase in his assist and scoring numbers, his efficiency could take a slight downturn.

  • Lakers' Austin Reaves: Lukewarm production in return

    Reaves (calf) tallied eight points (2-13 FG, 1-7 3Pt, 3-4 FT) and six rebounds across 32 minutes Thursday in the Lakers' 113-109 overtime win over the Knicks.

    Reaves was back in action after missing the previous two games with a right calf strain, though fantasy managers who activated him may have preferred that he took another game off to recover. The two made field goals tied a season low, and his 15.4 field-goal percentage was his worst rate of the season. Better games should be ahead for Reaves as he becomes further removed from his calf injury, though he'll likely struggle to reach his February averages of 22.0 points and 5.6 assists per game now that Luka Doncic is fully ramped up after he initially operated under a minute restriction upon making his Lakers debut Feb. 10.

In the 11 games prior to injuring his calf against the Clippers on Feb. 28, Reaves averaged 23.5 points, 6.1 assists, 4.6 rebounds and 1.5 steals over 34.5 minutes per contest.

    Reaves (calf) will not play Tuesday against New Orleans.

    Reaves (calf) is listed as questionable for Tuesday's game against the Pelicans, Jovan Buha of The Athletic reports.

  • Lakers' Austin Reaves: Officially ruled out

In his absence, Dalton Knecht, Gabe Vincent, Cam Reddish and Shake Milton are candidates for increased roles. Reaves is considered day-to-day, and his next chance to suit up will come Tuesday against the Pelicans.

  • Lakers' Austin Reaves: Day-to-day, doubtful for Sunday

    Reaves (calf) is considered day-to-day after an MRI on Saturday, but he's doubtful for Sunday's game against the Clippers, Tomer Azarly of ClutchPoints.com reports.

    Reaves played only nine minutes during Friday's win over the Clippers before being ruled out due to right calf soreness and will likely be sidelined for Sunday's rematch. In his absence, Gabe Vincent and Dalton Knecht should see a significant boost in playing time.

  • Lakers' Austin Reaves: Considered day-to-day

    Reaves is day-to-day after an MRI on his right calf revealed no serious injury Saturday, Shams Charania of ESPN reports.

    Reaves played only nine minutes during Friday's win over the Clippers due to right calf soreness, and while it appears he's avoided a worst-case scenario, his status moving forward remains unclear. He can be considered questionable for Sunday's rematch against the Clippers.

  • Lakers' Austin Reaves: Won't return Friday, will have MRI

    Reaves has been ruled out for the rest of Friday's game against the Clippers due to right calf soreness, Dan Woike of the Los Angeles Times reports.

    Reaves went to the locker room after playing nine minutes in the first quarter. He's been diagnosed with a right calf injury, and it's severe enough for him to be sidelined for the rest of Friday's contest. He'll finish with six points (2-4 FG, 2-4 3Pt) and one block. Gabe Vincent, Jordan Goodwin and Dalton Knecht should see a significant boost in playing time for the rest of Friday's game due to Reaves' injury. Per Dave McMenamin of ESPN.com, Reaves will undergo an MRI on his right calf Saturday, which puts him in serious jeopardy of missing multiple games, starting with Sunday's rematch against the Clippers.

  • Lakers' Austin Reaves: Drops 23 points in win

    Reaves finished with 23 points (5-10 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 11-12 FT), six rebounds, five assists and two steals over 38 minutes during Thursday's 111-102 victory over the Timberwolves.

    The 26-year-old guard delivered a full stat line Thursday, finishing as the club's second-leading scorer behind LeBron James (33 points). Reaves has racked up 20-plus points in four consecutive outings, and he has scored 20 or more points in 22 of his 52 regular-season appearances. Over his last 10 games, the fourth-year pro has averaged 23.1 points, 6.1 assists, 4.6 rebounds, 2.4 three-pointers and 1.3 steals in 35.0 minutes per contest.

  • Lakers' Austin Reaves: Drops 20 points in win

    Reaves finished Tuesday's 107-99 win over the Mavericks with 20 points (5-12 FG, 3-8 3Pt, 7-8 FT), three rebounds and five assists across 38 minutes.

    Although Luka Doncic was in the spotlight as he faced his former team, Reaves didn't fade into the woodwork. The Oklahoma product is finding his way to excellent totals despite Doncic's arrival, and he can take over a game quickly with his deft shooting stroke. He's currently on a great three-game run, averaging 25.0 points, 6.3 assists and 2.7 rebounds over the span.

  • Lakers' Austin Reaves: Pours in 32 points

    Reaves ended Thursday's 110-102 win over Portland with 32 points (9-21 FG, 2-8 3Pt, 12-13 FT), one rebound, seven assists, two blocks and two steals in 40 minutes.

    With Luka Doncic (calf) sidelined, Reaves got the start at point guard, and he didn't disappoint. Reaves is projected to work alongside Doncic once he returns, so fantasy managers who depend on Reaves' production shouldn't be worried about his production. The decision to move Rui Hachimura into the off-guard role during Thursday's win might be a greater cause for concern, however.

    Reaves has been ejected from an NBA game for the first time in his career after being issued back-to-back technical fouls. The 26-year-old ends the contest with eight points (3-9 FG, 2-7 3Pt), two rebounds, two assists, two blocks and one steal across 27 minutes. Reaves should be back in action Thursday against the Trail Blazers, but for now the Lakers will have to lean more on Dalton Knecht and Gabe Vincent.
