Lakers' Austin Reaves: Set to miss at least another week
Reaves (oblique) is expected to miss at least one more week, per Khobi Price of The California Post.
Neither Reaves nor Luka Doncic (hamstring) will be re-evaluated this week, leaving both players in serious jeopardy of missing Los Angeles' first-round playoff series against the Rockets. LeBron James will have to do the heavy lifting offensively for the Lakers, and the likes of Marcus Smart, Jake LaRavia and Rui Hachimura will also be asked to step up.

Lakers' Austin Reaves: Will miss rest of regular season
Reaves (oblique) will miss the rest of the 2025-26 regular season and is expected to be sidelined for around four to six weeks, according to Shams Charania of ESPN.
Reaves not only will miss the rest of the regular season, but the injury will sideline him for around four to six weeks, meaning he's also expected to miss the first round of the 2026 NBA Playoffs. This is a huge loss for the Lakers, as they also recently lost Luka Doncic (hamstring), meaning the burden on offense will go through LeBron James. Reaves averaged 23.3 points, 4.7 rebounds, 5.5 assists and 1.1 steals per game in 51 regular-season contests, and his ability to return before the start of the playoffs will be key for the Lakers' chances to make a deep playoff run. Expect Luke Kennard and Bronny James to see expanded roles in the backcourt with both Reaves and Doncic sidelined.

Lakers' Austin Reaves: Undergoes Imaging
Reaves (rib/oblique) underwent imaging recently and may not play in Sunday's game against Dallas, Khobi Price of The California Post reports.
Reaaves underwent imaging to address injuries to his ribs and oblique. While the results are still pending and his official status for Sunday's meeting with Dallas hasn't been disclosed, it appears there's a chance he won't be on the floor for that contest. The 27-year-old has also been playing through a back injury. With the team already down Luka Doncic (hamstring) for at least the rest of the regular season, the latest update regarding Reaves means coach JJ Redick might be down another top producer. If that is the case, LeBron James may find himself handling the ball more, with Luke Kennard and Kobe Bufkin in line to see increased action at the point guard position.

Lakers' Austin Reaves: Plays through back issue
Reaves posted 15 points (5-9 FG, 2-3 3Pt, 3-3 FT), four rebounds and one assist in 27 minutes during Thursday's 139-96 loss to the Thunder.
Reaves picked up a back injury in this contest, which forced him to the locker room in the second quarter, but he was able to finish out the game. However, his minutes were held in check by the lopsided score. Luka Doncic tweaked his hamstring Thursday, and if he misses time, Reaves may be asked to shoulder a lot more usage.

Lakers' Austin Reaves: Returns Thursday
Reaves (back) returned to Thursday's game against the Thunder with 9:40 remaining in the second quarter.
Reaves exited to the locker room late in the opening quarter due to an apparent lower-back issue. He returned to the court shortly thereafter but was still seen grabbing at the left side of his lower back, so the issue may be worth monitoring for the remainder of the contest.

Lakers' Austin Reaves: Exits to locker room

Lakers' Austin Reaves: Hits for 19 in Tuesday's win
Reaves provided 19 points (6-16 FG, 2-9 3Pt, 5-5 FT), six rebounds, four assists, one block and two steals in 37 minutes during Tuesday's 127-113 victory over Cleveland.
The fifth-year guard delivered another solid performance as he put the finishing touches on a productive March. Over the last 13 games, Reaves averaged 23.4 points, 6.1 assists, 4.7 boards, 2.2 threes and 1.3 steals, supplanting LeBron James as the second option in the Lakers' offense behind Luka Doncic.

Lakers' Austin Reaves: Flirts with double-double in win
Reaves had 19 points (4-11 FG, 0-4 3Pt, 11-12 FT), three rebounds, nine assists and one steal over 27 minutes during Monday's 120-101 win over Washington.
With Luka Doncic (suspension) out, Reaves delivered a solid line, although he finished behind LeBron James' triple-double. Despite failing to realize his projected value in the shorthanded backcourt, Reaves has proved to be an invaluable asset in the team's red-hot results over the past two weeks. He's averaged 21.7 points, 5.9 assists, 4.4 rebounds and 1.3 steals in March.

Lakers' Austin Reaves: Strikes for 26 in win over Nets
Reaves ended with 26 points (7-13 FG, 4-7 3Pt, 8-11 FT), eight rebounds, five assists and one steal across 40 minutes during Friday's 116-99 win over Brooklyn.
The fifth-year guard continues to roll, scoring at least 24 points for a fourth straight game and for the eighth time in his last 11. Over that stretch, Reaves is averaging 24.2 points, 6.0 assists, 4.7 boards, 2.5 threes and 1.3 steals. Reaves could see a usage spike in Monday's home game against the Wizards if Luka Doncic's one-game suspension for accumulated technical fouls gets upheld.

Lakers' Austin Reaves: Scores 25 in win over Pacers
Reaves amassed 25 points (7-16 FG, 2-7 3Pt, 9-9 FT), one rebound, eight assists and two steals in 38 minutes during Wednesday's 137-130 win over Indiana.
Reaves scored at least 24 points for a third consecutive game, and while most of the attention goes to Luka Doncic and his impressive scoring streak, Reaves' contributions can't be overlooked. The star guard is averaging a loaded line of 21.8 points, 4.2 rebounds, 5.8 assists and 1.3 steals per game in 14 appearances since the beginning of March. However, he's shooting just 32.6 percent from three in that span.

Lakers' Austin Reaves: Available to play Saturday
Reaves (hip) is available for Saturday's game in Orlando, per Dan Woike of The Athletic.
Reaves popped up on the injury report because of left hip soreness. However, he'll avoid his first absence in over a month. The 27-year-old is averaging a career-high 23.5 points with 4.8 rebounds, 5.5 assists, 1.1 steals and 0.4 blocks. While Reaves hasn't been as potent on the scoring end of late as he was at the beginning of the season, he'll have a favorable opportunity to get things going Saturday against an Orlando squad that has struggled defensively at home since the All-Star break.

Lakers' Austin Reaves: Keeps rolling in win
Reaves (hip) closed with 26 points (10-20 FG, 2-8 3Pt, 4-4 FT), seven rebounds, five assists, one block and two steals in 40 minutes during Saturday's 105-104 win over the Magic.
Reaves played through left hip soreness Saturday and appeared to be no worse for wear with a strong all-around performance. The star guard continues to return early-round fantasy value in all formats, averaging 23.9 points, 6.0 assists, 5.1 rebounds and 1.4 steals in a whopping 40.0 minutes per tilt in his last eight games.

Lakers' Austin Reaves: Iffy for Saturday
Reaves is listed as questionable for Saturday's game against the Magic due to left hip soreness.
The hip issue is a new concern for Reaves, who hasn't missed a game since Feb. 10. If the 27-year-old guard is ultimately ruled out, Jake LaRavia, Rui Hachimura and Luke Kennard would be candidates to take on expanded roles.
