Lakers guard Austin Reaves has been diagnosed with a grade 2 strain of his left calf and will be sidelined for approximately a month. Averaging career highs of 26.6 points, 6.3 assists, and 5.2 rebounds, Reaves had to leave a recent game against the Rockets due to calf soreness. His absence comes at a challenging time for the Lakers, who are on a three-game losing streak and have struggled defensively. The team has upcoming matchups against lower-ranked opponents, but Reaves’ recovery may extend until mid-January.
