Lakers Guard Austin Reaves Day-to-Day After Calf Injury Scare

Imaging reveals no serious damage to Reaves' calf, providing relief to the Lakers during their playoff push.

Austin Reaves exited Friday's game against the Clippers after nine minutes due to right calf soreness and underwent an MRI on Saturday.
Tests confirmed no significant injury, and Reaves is now listed as day-to-day, though his availability for Sunday's game against the Clippers remains uncertain.
Reaves has been a key contributor this season, averaging 19.1 points, 6.0 assists, and 4.2 rebounds, and was pivotal in the Lakers' recent strong performance.
Rui Hachimura, sidelined with left patellar tendinopathy, will be re-evaluated in a week, adding to the Lakers' injury concerns.
The Lakers, bolstered by LeBron James and Luka Doncic, have won 15 of their last 18 games and are closing in on the second seed in the Western Conference.
