Mon Apr 7 | 19:56 | Austin Reaves Uncertain For Tuesday's Action |
Los Angeles Lakers guard Austin Reaves (ankle) may exit the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Oklahoma City Thunder, as the team has listed him as questionable on the injury report. Reaves has sprained his right ankle, which might cost him his fourth game since the start of March. The Lakers have a lengthy injury list, which includes LeBron James (groin) and Luka Doncic (groin), so the team may have a completely different look in Tuesday's contest. However, the squad could return to near full strength for the second leg of a back-to-back on Wednesday night against the Dallas Mavericks. |

Across 65 appearances this season, the 26-year-old is averaging 19.9 points, 4.4 rebounds, and 5.9 assists in 34.7 minutes per game.

Thu Mar 20 | 17:13 | Austin Reaves Ruled Out For Thursday |
According to Khobi Price of The Orange County Register, Los Angeles Lakers guard Austin Reaves (ankle) won't play against the Milwaukee Bucks on Thursday. The 25-year-old will miss the second leg of a back-to-back set to manage a sprained right ankle. Reaves, on Wednesday against the Nuggets, finished with 22 points, five rebounds, eight assists, two steals, and one block in 36 minutes of work. Luka Doncic (ankle) is also unavailable, while Dorian Finney-Smith (ankle) and Jarred Vanderbilt (groin) are listed as doubtful, leaving the Lakers potentially very shorthanded for the contest. Several minutes and extra scoring opportunities could be available this evening for players like Gabe Vincent, Jordan Goodwin, and Dalton Knecht. |

Thu Mar 6 | 21:02 | Austin Reaves Good To Go Thursday |
Los Angeles Lakers guard Austin Reaves (calf) will suit up for Thursday's clash against the New York Knicks. He's back in the fold after sitting out a couple of games due to a calf strain. Reaves' return is unfortunate for Gabe Vincent, who will once again have to settle for a bench role, even though he didn't do a lot in the two spot starts he had. Before getting hurt in a matchup against the Los Angeles Clippers last week, Reaves had been on a tear, averaging 23.5 points, 4.6 rebounds, 6.1 assists, and 1.5 steals over an 11-game stretch. |

Wed Mar 5 | 21:22 | Austin Reaves On Track To Play Thursday |
Los Angeles Lakers guard Austin Reaves (calf) is listed as probable ahead of Thursday's game against the New York Knicks. Reaves appears to be on track to make his return to the court after missing each of the last two games. When healthy, Reaves has been a force on the court lately with a four-game streak of 20 points or more before that ended when he got injured against the Los Angeles Clippers last Friday. The 26-year-old is a must-start once he gets back on the court. Gabe Vincent figures to lose playing time once Reaves returns, but he wasn't offering much value right now anyway. |

Tue Mar 4 | 17:42 | Austin Reaves Unavailable On Tuesday |
Los Angeles Lakers guard Austin Reaves(calf) is unavailable for Tuesday's game against New Orleans. He suffered a calf injury during Friday's win over the Clippers, ending his evening after just nine minutes of work. An MRI showed no significant damage. However, the injury will keep him off the floor for a second straight contest. Dalton Knecht will likely see an uptick in minutes with Reaves out. Knecht could make an impact in fantasy on Tuesday as he finished with 19 points, four rebounds, and two steals, playing 25 minutes off the bench against the Clippers on Sunday. |

Mon Mar 3 | 20:43 | Austin Reaves Questionable Against New Orleans |
Los Angeles Lakers guard Austin Reaves (calf) is questionable for Tuesday's game against New Orleans. He suffered a calf injury during Friday's win over the Clippers, ending his evening after just nine minutes of work. While an MRI showed no significant damage, it still kept him off the floor when the Lakers and Clippers met again on Sunday night. Luka Doncic (knee) is also questionable, so Reaves could see an uptick in usage on Tuesday. However, if Reaves and Doncic are both sidelined, LeBron James (foot), who is probable, will likely handle the ball more than usual. Gabe Vincent, who had nine points on Sunday as a member of the starting lineup, could also be in line for increased fantasy production. |

Fortunately, an MRI "revealed no serious injury." However, fantasy managers had a feeling Reaves would miss some time.

But while Reaves is out of commission, Dalton Knecht and Gabe Vincent are in line for more work. |

Sat Mar 1 | 22:00 | Austin Reaves Officially Doubtful For Sunday Night |
Los Angeles Lakers guard Austin Reaves (calf) is officially listed as doubtful for Sunday's rematch with the Clippers. He played sparingly in Friday's win over the Clippers, amassing six points before exiting after nine minutes of work. As a result, Gabe Vincent (ankle) and Jordan Goodwin saw more action. With Goodwin doubtful, Vincent might find himself in the starting lineup on Sunday. However, LeBron James (foot) and Luka Doncic (calf), combining for 59 points on Friday, should continue to lead the way on the scoring end, assuming they are available. |

If he's sidelined on Sunday, Gabe Vincent and Jordan Goodwin could enter the starting lineup. However, Luka Doncic and LeBron James, combining for 59 points on Friday night, should remain in line for more production. |

Wed Feb 12 | 20:09 | Austin Reaves Cleared For Action Wednesday |
Los Angeles Lakers guard Austin Reaves (elbow) is good to go for Wednesday's tilt against the Utah Jazz. He has been upgraded from probable to available, paving the way for Reaves to make his 28th consecutive appearance. The 26-year-old has had a huge month, averaging 27.4 points, 6.0 rebounds, 6.0 assists, and 2.0 steals in 33.4 minutes. Luka Doncic's addition to the backcourt is bound to have an impact on Reaves, but Doncic will continue to play with a minutes restriction on Wednesday. Reaves remained a big part of the offense on Monday when Doncic made his Lakers debut against the Jazz, posting 22 points with nine rebounds and four assists. |

Tue Feb 11 | 21:40 | Austin Reaves Should Play On Wednesday |
Los Angeles Lakers guard Austin Reaves (elbow) is listed as probable ahead of Wednesday's game against the Utah Jazz. Reaves has been dealing with an elbow contusion for a few games, but he has looked fine during those contests. That being said, Reaves should continue to play through the issue during Wednesday's game. He'll likely be asked to take on a bigger role on offense, assuming Luka Doncic (calf) is unable to play. Reaves dropped a 44-point game last week and has finished with 20 points or more in each of his last five games. Reaves is looking like a must-start in all fantasy formats right now. |

However, he felt fine after pre-game warmups, so he's officially good to go. With LeBron James (ankle), Luka Doncic (calf), and Mark Williams (trade pending) all out, Reaves is a must-start in all fantasy setups, although his presence should mean less scoring chances for Rui Hachimura and Gabe Vincent, among others. |

Fri Feb 7 | 21:26 | Austin Reaves Tagged As Questionable For Saturday |
Los Angeles Lakers guard Austin Reaves (elbow) is listed as questionable ahead of Saturday's game against the Indiana Pacers. Oh no, the Lakers could be in trouble with Luka Doncic (calf) ruled out and LeBron James (ankle) questionable as well. Reaves has been healthy throughout most of the season and appeared to be fine while playing 35 minutes on Thursday. If he sits, Gabe Vincent and Shake Milton figure to see increased roles in the rotation. Neither of them are extremely appealing streaming choices, but Vincent is the better choice between the two. |

Los Angeles Lakers guard/forward Austin Reaves (pelvis) has been upgraded and will play in Friday's game versus the Minnesota Timberwolves. Reaves has missed the last five games because of a pelvic contusion. But after going from questionable to probable, he'll be back on the floor for this one. With LeBron James (foot) out indefinitely, Reaves should pick up some of the slack on the scoring end, making him a must-start in any fantasy setup. That won't change until James returns to the lineup. |

He has missed the Lakers' previous five contests because of a pelvic contusion and was initially labeled as questionable heading into this one. Luckily, Los Angeles will likely have him back on the court on Friday night. It can't come at a better time, considering LeBron James (foot) isn't available. As such, Reaves could be more involved on the scoring end, which is why he'll surely see more attention from DFS managers. |

Thu Dec 12 2024 | 20:21 | Austin Reaves Likely Out Again On Friday |
Los Angeles Lakers guard Austin Reaves (pelvis) is unlikely to play in Friday's matchup with the Timberwolves, marking his sixth-consecutive absence. LeBron James (foot) has already been ruled out due to left foot soreness, so the Lakers could be without two of their top scoring options. As a result, Anthony Davis would be in line for a bump in offensive production. Rui Hachimura, D'Angelo Russell, and Dalton Knecht could also see an uptick in scoring opportunities. |
