Austin Reaves missed a game last week due to a sprained ankle. On Thursday night, Reaves played 37 minutes but tweaked the same ankle again. While he was able to finish the game, Reaves is questionable for Saturday’s contest against the Memphis Grizzlies.
The last time Reaves was out, both Luka Doncic and LeBron James did not play. In the prior game that Reaves missed back on March 4, it was Gabe Vincent who got the nod. Jordan Goodwin, however, who has become an important part of the rotation, did not play. So, there is uncertainty as to who would start if Reaves is unable to go, but regardless, both Vincent and Goodwin should see upticks in playing time.
The usage rates are already high for Doncic and James, but they would shoulder more offensive responsibility if Reaves is out.
