Austin Reaves is out for the Los Angeles Lakers’ game at the Phoenix Suns on Sunday, Nov. 15. The Lakers listed him as Out with a left heel bruise on the injury report they filed Saturday evening, after he sat out the team’s practice earlier in the day.
Head coach JJ Redick had told reporters after Saturday’s practice that Reaves was off and resting the bruise. “He’ll be on the injury report,” Redick said. “We’ll see about tomorrow.” The answer came a few hours later. On Friday, Redick had described the injury as a bruised left heel, called Reaves day-to-day and said the team had decided against further imaging.
Reaves hurt the heel in the third quarter of the 123-112 win at Milwaukee on Nov. 11, coming down awkwardly on a missed fast-break dunk, and did not return; X-rays that night were negative. The Lakers have given no timeline beyond the day-to-day label Redick used Friday. Elsewhere on the report, Cameron Carr is out with an illness, and Collin Sexton (right orbital laceration), Adou Thiero (left ankle sprain) and Bronny James (illness) are questionable. Luka Dončić is not on the report. Tipoff in Phoenix is 1 p.m. Pacific.
