Austin Reaves injury update: Lakers guard sidelined for multiple games amid calf strain

Austin Reaves will miss at least a month after being diagnosed with a Grade 2 left calf strain suffered during the Lakers’ Christmas Day loss to Houston. The injury comes after an earlier setback and sidelines Los Angeles’ second-leading scorer during a difficult stretch. With Reaves out, the Lakers must adjust rotations and lean more heavily on Luka Dončić and LeBron James.
