The Lakers have more injury news for tonight’s game against the Bucks. Austin Reaves has been ruled out due to an ankle injury. This comes hours after Luka Doncic was ruled out, too.
Reaves played in the Lakers’ game against the Nuggets last night, but he’ll be sidelined tonight. Rui Hachimura has also been ruled out for this game. Dorian Finney-Smith and Jarred Vanderbilt are doubtful.
Reaves has been essential to the Lakers’ success, especially with LeBron James out. The 26-year-old is averaging 19.6 points, 6.0 assists and 4.5 rebounds per game this season. Those numbers have increased to 27 points, 7.7 assists and 6.7 rebounds per game in the six outings since James’ injury.
The Lakers could win tonight’s game still, but it’ll have to come shorthanded. The Bucks also have injury concerns with Damian Lillard listed as questionable for the game.
