Logs 17 points off bench Reaves finished Tuesday's 112-103 win over Memphis with 17 points (6-13 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 4-6 FT), four rebounds, seven assists and one steal across 33 minutes.

Impact Malik Beasley couldn't get many shots to fall, so Reaves stepped in and logged 33 minutes in the win. Reaves' numbers are largely unaffected by Beasley's arrival, and coach Darvin Ham tends to keep him in the game if the Oklahoma product is dialed in. Reaves also enjoyed a slightly higher usage rate due to D'Angelo Russell's (ankle) absence.

Continues red-hot shooting Reaves chipped in 19 points (5-5 FG, 1-1 3Pt, 8-9 FT), four assists and one steal in 25 minutes during Wednesday's 123-117 victory over Oklahoma City.

Impact Reaves' offense was much needed Wednesday with the Lakers playing a critical contest without LeBron James (foot), Anthony Davis (foot) and D'Angelo Russell (ankle). While Reaves didn't start, he saw ample court time and made a big impact with a perfect 5-for-5 mark from the field while draining eight of nine free-throw attempts. The Oklahoma product has converted at least half of his field-goal tries in each of his past six games and is shooting an impressive 71.9 percent, including 52.9 percent from three-point range, over that stretch.

Drains four triples in loss Reaves finished with 17 points (5-8 FG, 4-7 3Pt, 3-3 FT), two rebounds, seven assists, one block and one steal over 27 minutes during Tuesday's 121-109 loss to the Grizzlies.

Impact Reaves got the most minutes of any Los Angeles reserve Tuesday and turned the opportunity into a big offensive effort. The second-year guard was very efficient with a 5-for-8 shooting line, with all but one of those attempts and makes coming from three-point range. Reaves also tied his season high with seven assists to round out a solid stat line. Since returning from a lengthy injury absence Feb. 7, Reaves has alternated single-digit and double-digit scoring performances over eight contests, emphasizing the inconsistency that makes him a difficult player to roster in fantasy.

Drops 17 points off bench Reaves logged 17 points (6-6 FG, 1-1 3Pt, 4-4 FT), two rebounds, four assists and two steals in 19 minutes during Thursday's 124-111 win over the Warriors.

Impact Reaves came off the bench once again Thursday, but he was perfect from the floor and finished with the team's second-highest scoring total in the victory. He's scored in double figures in three of his last five appearances and has averaged 11.6 points, 2.4 rebounds and 2.4 assists in 23.4 minutes per game during that time.

Sizzles in first half Thursday Reaves contributed 18 points (7-11 FG, 3-4 3Pt, 1-2 FT), four rebounds, two assists and one steal across 25 minutes during Thursday's 115-106 loss to the Bucks.

Impact Reaves caught fire in the first half in his second game back from a hamstring injury, tallying 13 points in just 11 minutes on 5-for-6 shooting from the field (including a perfect 3-for-3 mark from long distance). He came back down to earth after halftime but still finished with his highest point total since scoring 20 against Charlotte on Dec. 23. Reaves saw 25 minutes against Milwaukee with the Lakers severely shorthanded, but it remains to be seen how his role will shift once the team deploys its trade-deadline acquisitions, including a pair of presumed new starting guards in D'Angelo Russell and Malik Beasley.

Will make return Tuesday Reaves (hamstring) is available for Tuesday's game versus the Thunder.

Impact Reaves has been upgraded from probable to available Tuesday after missing the last 16 games with a left hamstring strain. The 24-year-old guard's return will likely result in fewer minutes for Max Christie and Troy Brown.

Lakers Injury News: Austin Reaves Status Upgraded for Tuesday's Game He’s finally nearing a return.

FEBRUARY 6, 2023 • STAR-TELEGRAM.COM

Will probably return Tuesday Reaves (hamstring) said he "feels great" and will be probable for Tuesday's matchup against the Thunder, Jovan Buha of The Athletic reports.

Impact Reaves hasn't played since Jan. 4 due to a left hamstring strain, but it looks like his string of absences will come to a close Tuesday. The Lakers added Rui Hachimura since Reaves last played, plus Los Angeles will be at full strength, but the Oklahoma product is still expected to carve out a bench role moving forward. Across 36 appearances (12 starts) this season, Reaves is averaging 10.8 points, 3.1 rebounds and 2.2 assists in 28.9 minutes per game.

Lakers News: Austin Reaves Nearing Return Lakers guard is close to return to the lineup next week

FEBRUARY 5, 2023 • STAR-TELEGRAM.COM

Will remain out Saturday Reaves (hamstring) has been ruled out for Saturday's game against the Pelicans, Ryan Ward of LakersNation.com reports.

Impact There was optimism that Reaves would be able to return from a month-long absence Saturday, but he'll ultimately be sidelined for at least one more contest due to a left hamstring strain. Head coach Darvin Ham said Thursday that the second-year pro is in the final stage of his recovery process, so it wouldn't be shocking to see Reaves without an injury designation for Tuesday's matchup against the Thunder.

FEBRUARY 3, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Could return Saturday Reaves (hamstring), who is out Thursday against the Pacers, could return Saturday against the Pelicans, Jovan Buha of The Athletic reports.

Impact Coach Darvin Ham noted that Reaves has one more hurdle to clear before being ready for game action. Once available, the defensive-minded wing will presumably be eased back into action. He's periodically started and has averaged 10.8 points, 3.1 rebounds and 2.2 assists in 28.9 minutes this season.

Won't play Thursday Reaves (hamstring) has been ruled out for Thursday's game against the Pacers, Ryan Ward of LakersNation.com reports.

Impact Reaves is slated to be re-evaluated Thursday, but he'll be sidelined for at least one more game due to his hamstring issue. A better idea of his status will likely be revealed once he's re-evaluated by the team's medical staff.
