While the Lakers took care of business in fairly convincing fashion against the Bucks on Wednesday, the one sour note that came out of it was Austin Reaves suffering an injury.
During the third quarter, Reaves went up for a dunk and landed awkwardly. After trying to run it out for a few minutes, Reaves eventually asked for a sub and went to the locker room. He was eventually ruled out for the game.
After the game, head coach JJ Redick shared a minor update, noting that X-rays were negative and they’d get imaging on his heel Thursday. Redick also said that there was no worry of an Achilles injury.
The Lakers will be off until Sunday when they take on the Suns and it’s a break that couldn’t come at a better time. Not only did Reaves leave with an injury in the second half, but both Collin Sexton and Luka Dončić did too, though with more minor ailments.

Sexton took a blow to the face and received sutures. Luka twisted his ankle on the foot of Kyle Kuzma while shooting a 3-pointer. He stayed in the game to shoot the free throw before leaving.
Redick did not seem particularly concerned about any of the injuries and said Austin was the typical Austin postgame, so early signs are positive. Fortunately, the Lakers now have their longest break so far this season to rest and heal back up.
