Lakers' Austin Reaves: Pops for 18 in return
Reaves recorded 18 points (5-10 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 7-9 FT), four rebounds and six assists in 28 minutes off the bench during Thursday's 124-104 win over Dallas.
After sitting out the second game of a back-to-back Tuesday, Reaves was back in action Thursday and led the Lakers' second unit in scoring -- the rest of the team's bench managed just 21 points combined. In five games since returning from a calf injury in early February, Reaves is averaging 20.0 points, 4.8 assists, 4.2 boards, 1.6 threes and 1.0 steals in 25.4 minutes, and he could be ready to rejoin the starting five on the other side of the All-Star break.

Lakers' Austin Reaves: Remaining on minutes limit
Reaves will play 25-to-30 minutes Thursday night against the Mavericks, Law Murray of The Athletic reports.
Reaves logged 29 minutes in his previous appearance Monday against the Thunder before sitting out the second half of a back-to-back Tuesday. The Lakers are still monitoring the guard's minutes closely following his return from a calf injury, but he's continuing to inch closer toward a full workload.

Lakers' Austin Reaves: Off injury report for Thursday
Reaves (calf) isn't listed on the injury report for Thursday's game against the Mavericks.
Reaves sat out Tuesday's loss to San Antonio -- the second leg of a back-to-back set -- due to injury management. However, he's set to return to action Thursday. Over four February appearances following a 19-game absence due to a calf strain, Reaves has averaged 20.5 points, 4.5 assists, 4.3 rebounds and 1.3 steals in 24.8 minutes per game off the bench. It's unclear if he'll remain on a minutes restriction Thursday, though he logged 29 his last time out.

Lakers' Austin Reaves: Won't play Tuesday
Reaves (left calf injury management) is out for Tuesday's game against San Antonio, Broderick Turner of the Los Angeles Times reports.
Reaves will miss the tail end of a back-to-back set for rest purposes. In addition to Reaves, Luka Doncic (hamstring), LeBron James (foot) and Marcus Smart (ankle) are out Tuesday, meaning Luke Kennard, Kobe Bufkin, Nick Smith and Dalton Knecht should see plenty of action. Reaves should be back in action Thursday against Dallas.

Lakers' Austin Reaves: Posts 16 points from bench
Reaves supplied 16 points (6-14 FG, 1-5 3Pt, 3-3 FT), two rebounds, seven assists and one steal across 29 minutes during Monday's 119-110 loss to the Thunder.
Reaves was limited to 29 minutes from the bench, but he was able to make a noticeable impact in the contest. Recaves should be set to rejoin the starting lineup following the All-Star break, but the team will ease him back slowly to avoid aggravation of his calf injury.

Lakers' Austin Reaves: Returning to form
Reaves finished with 16 points (5-10 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 6-7 FT), five rebounds, eight assists, one block and two steals across 24 minutes during Saturday's 105-99 victory over the Warriors.
Reaves came off the bench again, but that did not prevent him from having a very solid game. The game marked his second time recording two steals in the three games he's played since returning from a calf strain. The Lakers' next game Monday against the Thunder is the front end of a back-to-back, which may call for his current minutes restriction to stay in place.

Lakers' Austin Reaves: Looks sharp off bench
Reaves finished with 35 points (12-17 FG, 5-8 3Pt, 6-7 FT), five rebounds and two assists in 25 minutes during Thursday's 119-115 win over the 76ers.
Reaves took control down the stretch and scored 13 of his 35 points during the fourth quarter to power the Lakers to a victory. The 27-year-old still faced a minutes restriction in just his second game back from a strained right calf, but he saw a slight increase in playing time Thursday and proved that he can take over even when having his minutes monitored.

Lakers' Austin Reaves: Still on restriction
Reaves will be on a minutes restriction Thursday night against the 76ers, Daniel Starkand of LakersNation.com reports.
Reaves logged 21 minutes in his return Tuesday, marking his first game action since Dec. 25. He'll presumably be kept around the same range Thursday while he continues to build his conditioning back up.

Lakers' Austin Reaves: Puts up 15 points in return
Reaves (calf) finished Tuesday's 125-109 win over the Nets with 15 points (3-9 FG, 1-5 3Pt, 8-10 FT), four rebounds, two steals and one assist across 21 minutes.
Making his first appearance since Dec. 25 after completing his recovery from a strained right calf, Reaves opened the game on the bench, marking the first time that he didn't start a game since the 2023-24 season. Reaves lacked efficiency from the field but did most of his damage from the charity stripe en route to leading the Lakers bench in scoring. It's worth noting that Reaves opened the second half on the court ahead of Jake LaRavia, perhaps hinting that Reaves could usurp LaRavia in the starting five in the Lakers' next game Thursday against the 76ers. Even if Reaves does start that game, he'll likely operate on a minutes restriction as he aims to regain full conditioning following his lengthy absence.

Lakers' Austin Reaves: Set for Tuesday return
Reaves (calf) will play Tuesday against the Nets, Khobi Price of The Orange County Register reports.
Reaves will be deployed off the bench in his first game since suffering a calf injury Dec. 25, per Price. The team has also stated that he'll be on a minutes restriction. Expect LA to play it safe with Reaves in his first few games back considering his lengthy absence from game action.

Lakers' Austin Reaves: Questionable for Tuesday
Reaves (calf) is questionable for Tuesday's game versus Brooklyn.
Reaves hasn't played since Dec. 25 after straining his left calf, but Lakers head coach JJ Redick said after Sunday's 112-100 loss to the Knicks that he was hopeful to have the guard back in the lineup soon. It sounds like the guard could ultimately be a game-time call for this contest, and if he's cleared, Reaves will likely face restrictions.

Lakers' Austin Reaves: Could be back Tuesday
Lakers head coach JJ Redick said after Sunday's 112-100 loss to the Knicks that Reaves (calf) is day-to-day, and he's hopeful the guard will be back in action Tuesday in Brooklyn, Law Murray of The Athletic reports.
Reaves hasn't played since Dec. 25 after straining his left calf, but after five weeks on the sidelines, the 27-year-old looks to be on the cusp of a return. Redick emphasized that Reaves needs to be 100 percent confident in the health of his calf before playing again, but if he is able to complete a workout Monday without issue, he'll likely get the green light to suit up against the Nets. If Reaves is cleared for Tuesday's contest, he'll presumably operate under a minutes restriction.

Lakers' Austin Reaves: Won't play Sunday
Reaves (calf) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Knicks, Dan Woike of The Athletic reports.
Reaves was considered a possibility to return Sunday but will ultimately miss his 19th straight game due to a left calf strain. In his continued absence, Jake LaRavia, Marcus Smart and Gabe Vincent should keep seeing expanded opportunities. Reaves' next chance to suit up will come Tuesday against the Nets.

Lakers' Austin Reaves: Questionable to face New York
Reaves (calf) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Knicks.
Reaves hasn't played since Dec. 25 due to a left calf strain but has a chance to return to action Sunday. The 27-year-old guard will likely operate under a minutes restriction in the short term once he's cleared to play, though his eventual return will leave fewer minutes available for the likes of Jake LaRavia, Marcus Smart and Gabe Vincent.

Lakers' Austin Reaves: Ruled out Friday
Reaves (calf) has been ruled out for Friday's game against the Wizards, Dave McMenamin of ESPN.com reports.
Reaves hasn't played since Dec. 25 due to a left calf strain, but he's progressing in his recovery and is seemingly nearing a return to action after initially being listed as questionable for Friday's matchup. His next opportunity to play will come Sunday against the Knicks. Until Reaves is cleared to play, Jake LaRavia, Marcus Smart and Gabe Vincent will likely continue to see increased minutes.

Lakers' Austin Reaves: Questionable for Friday
Reaves is questionable for Friday's game against the Wizards with a left calf strain, Broderick Turner of the Los Angeles Times reports.
The questionable tag is an encouraging sign, giving Reaves a chance to suit up for the first time since Dec. 25. If the star guard is finally ready to return to action, Marcus Smart's fantasy value could take a considerable hit. Fewer minutes would be open to Jarred Vanderbilt as well.
