Los Angeles Lakers star Austin Reaves will miss at least four weeks following a grade 2 left calf strain suffered during the Lakers’ Christmas Day blowout loss to the Houston Rockets (119-96). Reaves exited in the first half and did not return, forcing Marcus Smart into the starting lineup. Reaves has been having a career year, averaging 26.6 points, 6.3 assists, and 5.2 rebounds, including a 51-point explosion against Sacramento earlier this season. His injury comes at a critical time as the Lakers have dropped three straight games by double digits and fallen to 19-10 after starting 15-4. Lakers head coach JJ Redick expressed frustration over the team’s performance and effort, calling out the lack of professionalism in recent games. With LeBron James missing early season games, Reaves has been carrying a heavy offensive load alongside Luka Doncic.
