Luka Doncic, Austin Reaves
April 2026
Luka Doncic and Austin Reaves will not be back in time for the start of the Lakers’ playoff series against Houston, leaving Los Angeles without its two top scorers for Game 1. JJ Redick said both are out indefinitely, with Doncic still recovering from a hamstring strain and Reaves dealing with an oblique injury. Their absences leave LeBron James carrying more of the offensive load as the Lakers open the series against the Rockets.
