Lakers’ Austin Reaves Undergoes MRI After Exiting Game Against Clippers

Los Angeles Lakers guard Austin Reaves exited the team’s game against the Los Angeles Clippers due to calf soreness. Sources indicate that Reaves is set to undergo an MRI to determine the extent of his injury. This development comes after the Lakers achieved their fifth consecutive win, edging out the Clippers 122-113, thanks in large part to Luka Doncic’s 31 points, including a crucial 14 points in the fourth quarter. The Lakers’ head coach, Darvin Ham, expressed concern over Reaves’ condition, highlighting the significance of the young player’s contribution to the team. ‘We’ll see how it plays out,’ Ham noted, emphasizing the need for medical evaluation. Reaves had started the season strong, averaging 18.5 points per game, making his potential absence a significant concern for the Lakers as they look to build momentum in the early parts of the season. Fans and analysts alike are awaiting updates on his MRI results, as the Lakers could face challenges in maintaining their winning streak without one of their key players.
