Los Angeles Lakers guard Austin Reaves will be sidelined for approximately four weeks due to a grade 2 gastrocnemius strain in his left calf, sustained during the team’s 119-96 loss to the Houston Rockets on Christmas Day. The injury follows a prior mild calf strain that had already caused him to miss three games. Reaves, who was having a career season with averages of 26.6 points, 6.3 assists, and 5.2 rebounds, will be re-evaluated after his recovery period. The Lakers, currently 19-10 and ranked No. 4 in the Western Conference, face 15 games during his absence.
