Lakers' Austin Reaves could miss at least a month with a strained left calf

Austin Reaves could miss at least a month with a strained left calf, a damaging blow for the struggling Los Angeles Lakers

DECEMBER 27, 2025 • Associated Press

Diagnosed with calf strain Reaves has been diagnosed with a grade 2 left gastrocnemius strain and will be re-evaluated in approximately four weeks, Dan Woike of The Athletic reports.

Impact Reaves exited Thursday's loss to the Rockets with the injury, and the diagnosis confirmed the star guard will be sidelined for a sizable amount of time. The loss of Reaves means Marcus Smart, Dalton Knecht and potentially Bronny James could be in line for more minutes in the Lakers' backcourt alongside Luka Doncic. Reaves is averaging a career-high 26.2 points per game, so his absence will be a huge blow for the Lakers, as they'll have to rely even more on Doncic and LeBron James to carry the team offensively.

Exits Christmas Day game Reaves will not return to Thursday's game against the Rockets due to left calf soreness, NBA reporter Chris Haynes reports.

Impact Reaves played in the first half and will finish his performance with 12 points (5-8 FG, 2-5 3Pt), one rebound, one assist and one block in 15 minutes. Reaves previously missed three games with a calf injury before returning Tuesday against the Suns and playing 22 minutes. Given the situation, it wouldn't be surprising if he sat out Sunday's game against the Kings. For now, he should be considered questionable for that contest.

Hits for 17 in return Reaves recorded 17 points (6-11 FG, 1-5 3Pt, 4-5 FT), two rebounds and two assists across 22 minutes off the bench during Tuesday's 132-108 loss to Phoenix.

Impact Returning from a three-game absence due to a calf strain, Reaves was eased in as part of the second unit and was the only bench player for the Lakers to score in double digits. The fifth-year guard has scored 10-plus points in all 22 of his appearances this season, averaging 27.3 points, 6.5 assists, 5.4 boards, 2.7 threes and 1.0 steals in 36.2 minutes.

Coming off bench in return Reaves is not in the Lakers' starting lineup against the Suns on Tuesday, Daniel Starkand of LakersNation.com reports.

Impact Reaves has been cleared to return from a three-game absence due to a left calf strain. Even with Luka Doncic (leg), Gabe Vincent (back) and Rui Hachimura (groin) all sidelined for Tuesday's contest, the Lakers will play it conservatively by having Reaves come off the bench while Nick Smith enters the starting lineup for the first time this season.

Will play Tuesday Reaves (calf) will play in Tuesday's game against the Suns, Khobi Price of The Orange County Register reports.

Impact Reaves is ready to end a three-game absence with a left calf strain. Given that he missed just over a week of action, the star guard may not face any significant restrictions Tuesday. Reaves has averaged 26.1 points, 5.8 rebounds, 5.4 assists and 0.9 steals in 36.5 minutes per contest over his last 14 games.

DECEMBER 23, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Questionable for Tuesday Reaves (calf) is questionable for Tuesday's game against the Suns.

Impact Reaves has missed his team's last three matchups while dealing with a left calf strain, but he was cleared to return to practice in a limited fashion Monday and has a shot to suit up for Tuesday's clash. The team should have a clearer picture of his availability closer to tipoff.
