Luka Doncic REPORTEDLY PAIN-FREE, NO UPDATE Yet from Lakers on Austin Reaves
The Lakers have a few guys on the shelf following Wednesday’s win in Milwaukee, but Thursday the news was relatively good, to neutral, to perhaps concerning depending on your POV.
First and foremost, Luka Dončić is reportedly doing fine after tweaking his ankle late in the game. JJ Redick seemed fairly unconcerned after the win, The Athletic’s Dan Woike reported that Luka himself said he was fine, and then Thursday ESPN’s Shams Charania reported that Luka woke up this morning without pain in the ankle. So so far, things seem ok. Meanwhile, Grimes tried to give it a go Wednesday morning, and was ultimately kept out for precautionary reasons. So hopefully by Sunday, he’s good to go. No word at all on Sexton, which given the nature of his injury (conked heads with Milwaukee’s Ryan Rollins and opened up a cut that required sutures), could mean everything is more or less fine. The question mark is Reaves.
Nothing from the Lakers Thursday, but surely the team will have some sort of update on Friday after practice.
What would it mean if Reaves has to miss time? Well, a lot of that depends on who else is available, but silver lining, assuming Grimes is ok, three or four games to stretch his wings a little couldn’t hurt.

I want to see what Carr can do before the usual “3 and D wing” pursuits.
Would like a rotation big / backup center. Maybe Brook Looez?
IRON MAN LUKA 💪🏼💪🏼💪🏼
No update on Austin is concerning
I wonder if it’s possible for Andy to give himself a concussion just from talking
Bronny is not an NBA-calibur player. Can we please stop pretending that he is. I'd rather we pick up CP3 than play Bronny.
I said that the Lakers were contenders before the season started. Glad you're slowly coming around. You're not quite there… but almost.
Read where Shams reported that Austin was ok..anyone else hear this??
The beauty of the Sexton injury is it happened to the part of his body that he uses "the least" when he plays effective Basketball…
(his head)
I share BK's "dying optimism" that Bronny can still somehow muster up a modicum of contributing basketball.
I think this team does better with the +/- simply because the motor is higher… More effort regardless of opponent has led to more comfortable wins… The back end of the bench though, no bueno. Luka really didn’t need to be playing in the last several minutes of the game.
