"Reaves started to feel discomfort in the first quarter of the team's win over Miami on Sunday, coach JJ Redick said Monday, and sat out of the second game of back-to-back nights in Portland. He was a full participant in the team's shootaround Wednesday morning, even joining star guard Luka Doncic, forward Maxi Kleber and staff members in a half-court shooting competition."

"The French superstar is averaging 26.7 points, 13.7 rebounds and 4.7 blocks per game in his third year in the NBA. The still-growing 7-foot-4, 21-year-old has turned heads with his unique combination of perimeter skill, shooting and defense that Lakers center Deandre Ayton compared to the Space Jam villians "The Monstars" on Wednesday morning. "He's unbelievable," Ayton said. "He's truly a once in a generational player. And he can do everything. A dude his size so nimble and so fast and quick with or without the ball. It takes a whole team to guard him.""
Austin Reaves will miss a second consecutive game because of right groin soreness and is listed as questionable despite full participation at shootaround. Reaves is averaging 31.1 points and a team-leading 9.3 assists per game. Luka Doncic, who missed a recent game with a left leg contusion, will be available against the Spurs. Victor Wembanyama is averaging 26.7 points, 13.7 rebounds and 4.7 blocks and draws attention for his perimeter skill and defense. Jaxson Hayes was upgraded to available; LeBron James, Adou Thiero, Gabe Vincent and Maxi Kleber remain out.
