The Los Angeles Lakers had a mini scare on Friday night in their game against the San Antonio Spurs when guard Austin Reaves left the floor with what looked like an injury. He was able to play out the game, and we got more details after the fact. Lakers head coach Darvin Ham said that Reaves left the floor with some cramps, but it isn’t anything that is needed to worry about. Darvin Ham said Austin Reaves had cramps leaving the floor but it isn’t anything serious.
This is great news for the Lakers, as Reaves has been one of their main contributors this season. LA has been hit hard with injuries over this year, and the last thing they need is Reaves to be forced to miss any time. Through 26 games for the Lakers, Reaves is averaging 14.8 points, 4.8 rebounds, and 4.9 assists per game. His three-point shot has also started to come along as the year has progressed, now sitting at 35.8 percent from deep.
LA needs his playmaking skills on the floor each time out, so thankfully, he wasn’t hurt any worse. The team has a couple of days off before their next game, so hopefully, he can rest up enough to heal. They have done a good job to stay afloat throughout the injuries, but at some point, enough is enough. The team has yet to play a single game together without any injuries, and it’s starting to look like it may not happen. The hope is that the issues LA has been dealing with will all blow over soon, and we can finally see this team all together.
