Austin Reaves, the Lakers guard, faced a right calf injury during a recent game against the Clippers, raising concerns about his season performance. Having previously demonstrated exceptional skills with an average of 19.3 points per game, his injury could impact the team's dynamics as he has been a consistent starter this season. Notably, calf injuries have troubled other players like Luka Doncic, emphasizing the need for caution. Reaves previously dealt with a pelvic injury this season and was replaced by Gabe Vincent for the second half of the game against the Clippers.
Reaves has started 52 games this season for the Lakers, averaging 19.3 points, 4.3 rebounds and 6.1 assists.
Calf injuries are notoriously tricky in the NBA, with Luka Doncic missing time with a recurring calf problem.
Reaves missed five games earlier this season after sustaining a pelvic injury. He played in every game for the Lakers the previous season.
Austin Reaves is expected to undergo an MRI scan Saturday to determine the severity of the injury.
