Austin Reaves (ankle) may exit the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Oklahoma City Thunder, as the team has listed him as questionable on the injury report. Reaves has sprained his right ankle, which might cost him his fourth game since the start of March. The Lakers have a lengthy injury list, which includes
LeBron James (groin) and
Luka Doncic (groin), so the team may have a completely different look in Tuesday's contest. However, the squad could return to near full strength for the second leg of a back-to-back on Wednesday night against the Dallas Mavericks.

Austin Reaves (ankle) is listed as questionable for Saturday's contest against the Memphis Grizzlies due to a right ankle sprain. Reaves has played in four consecutive contests despite the lingering ankle injury. Across 65 appearances this season, the 26-year-old is averaging 19.9 points, 4.4 rebounds, and 5.9 assists in 34.7 minutes per game. Should Reaves miss Saturday, 23-year-old rookie
Dalton Knecht could see an uptick in minutes and scoring opportunities during the game.

According to Khobi Price of The Orange County Register, Los Angeles Lakers guard
Austin Reaves (ankle) won't play against the Milwaukee Bucks on Thursday. The 25-year-old will miss the second leg of a back-to-back set to manage a sprained right ankle. Reaves, on Wednesday against the Nuggets, finished with 22 points, five rebounds, eight assists, two steals, and one block in 36 minutes of work.
Luka Doncic (ankle) is also unavailable, while
Dorian Finney-Smith (ankle) and
Jarred Vanderbilt (groin) are listed as doubtful, leaving the Lakers potentially very shorthanded for the contest. Several minutes and extra scoring opportunities could be available this evening for players like
Gabe Vincent,
Jordan Goodwin, and
Dalton Knecht.

Austin Reaves (calf) will suit up for Thursday's clash against the New York Knicks. He's back in the fold after sitting out a couple of games due to a calf strain. Reaves' return is unfortunate for
Gabe Vincent, who will once again have to settle for a bench role, even though he didn't do a lot in the two spot starts he had. Before getting hurt in a matchup against the Los Angeles Clippers last week, Reaves had been on a tear, averaging 23.5 points, 4.6 rebounds, 6.1 assists, and 1.5 steals over an 11-game stretch.
