Reaves was also listed on the Lakers' official NBA injury report ahead of Monday night's clash against the Trail Blazers. He was listed as out on the report due to right groin soreness, according to ESPN reporter Dave McMenamin. "Full injury report: Austin Reaves is also out," McMenamin said.

“JJ Redick said Austin Reaves tweaked his groin early in last night’s win vs. Miami, and he played through it towards 26 points and 11 assists. Reaves is sore today and won’t play tonight; Redick said they’ll evaluate him again tomorrow,” Lakers reporter Mike Trudell posted.

The Los Angeles Lakers were short-staffed on Monday with Luka Dončić, LeBron James and Austin Reaves all sidelined, but they managed to pick up a 123-115 win over the Portland Trail Blazers.

Austin Reaves made a surprising postgame claim after the Los Angeles Lakers’ latest win involving a highlight with Bronny James.
