Austin Reaves
January 2026
Reaves returned off the bench after missing 19 games with a left calf strain, posting 15 points in 21 minutes in a 125-109 win over the Nets. Redick put him on restricted minutes and said the team has missed him across the board. The absence has limited how the Lakers can judge their ceiling, with LeBron calling him an “All-Star 2-guard” level piece.
