AUSTIN REAVES NEWS

Likely to play Monday Reaves is probable for Monday's game against the Jazz due to a left elbow contusion, Khobi Price of The Orange County Register reports.

Impact The fourth-year guard is expected to suit up Monday following a career night in Saturday's win over Indiana, during which he posted 45 points (14-26 FG, 4-9 3Pt, 13-13 FT), seven rebounds, seven assists and three steals across 40 minutes. With Luka Doncic (calf) and LeBron James (ankle) both questionable for Monday's contest, Reaves could receive an increased role with more ball-handling duties.

Erupts for career-high 45 Reaves closed with 45 points (14-26 FG, 4-9 3Pt, 13-13 FT), seven rebounds, seven assists and three steals over 40 minutes during Saturday's 124-117 victory over the Pacers.

Impact The Lakers came into this one missing both LeBron James (ankle) and Luka Doncic (calf), and even the newly acquired Mark Williams (trade pending) wasn't cleared to make his Los Angeles debut. It didn't matter, as Reaves stepped up with the best scoring effort of his career, including 14 points in the fourth quarter to help fend off a comeback attempt from Indiana. Reaves has scored 20 or more points in four straight games to begin February, averaging 28.8 points, 6.5 assists, 5.3 boards, 2.8 threes and 2.3 steals to begin the month.

Good to go Saturday vs. Indiana Reaves (elbow) has been cleared to play against the Pacers on Saturday, Khobi Price of The Orange County Register reports.

Impact Reaves appeared on Friday's injury report due to a left elbow contusion that he likely suffered during the Lakers' 120-112 win over the Warriors on Thursday. He was able to get through pregame warmups without any setbacks, and he's done enough to be given the green light to play Saturday. Reaves should be the focal point of the Lakers' offense as LeBron James (ankle) and Luka Doncic (calf) are not playing.

Iffy against Indiana Daniel Starkand of LakersNation.comReaves (elbow) has been listed as questionable for Saturday's game against the Pacers, Daniel Starkand of LakersNation.com reports.

Impact Reaves surprisingly popped up on the injury report for the Lakers ahead of Saturday's game against the Pacers. The 26-year-old guard has played all but five games for Los Angeles this season but might be watching from the sideline against Indiana. If ruled out for this game in Los Angeles, the Lakers could turn to Shake Milton and Gabe Vincent to help pick up the slack in the backcourt.

Full stat line with poor efficiency Reaves recorded 23 points (4-17 FG, 0-9 3Pt, 15-16 FT), three rebounds, four assists, one block and three steals across 36 minutes during Thursday's 120-112 win over the Warriors.

Impact Reaves struggled mightily from three-point land Thursday, but he was able to supply a full stat line and sink a season-high 15 free throws in 16 attempts to salvage an inefficient shooting night from the floor. Across his last nine contests, the 26-year-old has averaged 19.1 points, 6.6 assists, 4.6 rebounds, 1.3 steals and 2.2 threes in 33.9 minutes. A dip in ball-handling duties could be headed the way of Reaves once Luka Doncic (calf) is cleared to make his Lakers debut, which could translate to an increase in his efficiency as opposing teams focus more on containing Doncic.

Impact Luka Doncic's (calf) arrival will undoubtedly have an effect on Reaves' future production. It will take a few games for the Lakers to find the right formula, and although Reaves will get an opportunity to be the fit opposite Doncic in the backcourt, it's entirely possible that coach JJ Redick may favor another combination, leaving an imminent demotion as a distinct possibility.

Big impact on both ends in win Reaves finished with 27 points (7-12 FG, 4-7 3Pt, 9-9 FT), five rebounds, six assists and three steals over 29 minutes during Saturday's 128-112 victory over New York.

Impact It was the highest scoring output since a Jan. 17 win over Brooklyn for Reaves, who also tied the team high with three steals amid a busy night at the free-throw line Saturday. The 26-year-old has averaged 18.4 points, 6.6 assists, 4.6 rebounds, 1.3 steals and 2.4 three-pointers per game over his last seven outings, and Reaves should have additional playmaking opportunities while Anthony Davis remains sidelined with an abdominal injury.

Fills stat sheet Reaves provided 17 points (5-14 FG, 2-8 3Pt, 5-7 FT), five rebounds, six assists and three steals in 38 minutes during Monday's 112-107 victory over the Hornets.

Impact Reaves had an off night shooting the ball, but matched his season-best mark with three steals -- he's achieved that five times this season. Despite some average shooting performances throughout January, he's been productive on the stat sheet with 18.4 points, 6.9 assists, 3.8 rebounds, 1.3 steals and 2.5 three-pointers over his last 12 games.

Solid display Saturday Reaves finished Saturday's 118-108 win over the Warriors with 16 points (6-10 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 3-3 FT), five rebounds, seven assists and one steal over 39 minutes.

Impact LeBron James and Anthony Davis are the go-to options for the Lakers on offense, but there's no doubt Reaves has been doing a solid job as a third option in JJ Redick's scheme. He's surpassed the 15-point mark in four of his last five outings, a span in which he's averaging 21.4 points, 3.0 rebounds and 5.4 assists per game.

Scores 23 in win over Boston Reaves chipped in 23 points (7-13 FG, 4-8 3Pt, 5-6 FT), three rebounds and six assists across 33 minutes during Thursday's 117-96 victory over the Celtics.

Impact Even though LeBron James and Anthony Davis stole the show with their impressive performances Thursday, there's no question Reaves made his presence felt in the backcourt -- both as a scorer and playmaker. He's been thriving in recent weeks as the team's starting point guard, and the numbers back that up. He's averaging 18.8 points, 3.5 rebounds, 7.0 assists and 1.1 steals per game since the beginning of January.

Off injury report Reaves is not on the team injury report after leaving late in the fourth quarter of Sunday's game against the Clippers, Ryan Ward of LakersNation.com reports.

Impact Reaves banged knees with a Clippers player and asked to be subbed out, but he is still expected to play Tuesday against the Wizards. Reaves being completely left off the injury report heading in to Tuesday's game is an encouraging sign that this injury will not hinder him too much moving forward.
