It’s when all is well with the Lakers that a somewhat messy injury complicates things a bit. Important in Darvin Ham’s rotation so far, Austin Reaves will be out for a minimum of two weeks, says Shams Charania. The cause ? A left tendon that squeaks a little too hard.
Hard blow for the current 9th of votes au All-Star Game from outside the West. Well, no kidding, this little physical glitch comes as the Lakers are currently at four consecutive successes, their biggest series this season. Absent tonight once morest the Hawks, which the Angelinos have beaten in trigger at home, the rear of La La Land might therefore be deprived of the land for a minimum of fifteen days according to Shams Charania.
Lakers‘ Austin Reaves will be re-evaluated in two weeks due to a left hamstring strain, team says. Lonnie Walker IV will also miss at least two weeks due to left knee tendinitis.

Important in Darvin Ham’s group, Austin Reaves is shooting 10.8 points, 3.1 rebounds and 2.2 assists this season with 48.8% shooting, including 33.6% from Venice Beach. A good little element to send out of the bench and even to integrate into the five when the holders are injured. It does the job, without being exceptionally amazing, but without making a dumpling either. Basically, the guy side unit always good to have in your squad. And which supports LeBron James rather well, especially when Anthony Davis’ scoring is also absent.
To elaborate on Reaves’ injury? The Shams speak of a painful left tendon, forcing Austin to temporize to go back to the doctor in two weeks for an initial assessment. It’s really too silly, because he had a pure chance of participating in the All-Star Game. Note that the Shams also indicates that Loonie Walker IV will miss at least two weeks for tendonitis in his left knee. At least Austin won’t be playing Fortnite alone.
