Austin Reaves Fantasy Stats

Los Angeles Lakers guard/forward Austin Reaves (calf) has been diagnosed with a grade two left gastrocnemius strain and will be reevaluated in four weeks after exiting Thursday's game against the Rockets. Reaves logged 15 minutes before departing and finished with 12 points, one rebound, one assist, and one block, cutting short his usual rotation role. The Lakers' guard rotation is set to adjust during Reaves' absence, with Marcus Smart positioned for a steadier run after averaging 30.0 minutes, 10.0 points, 4.0 rebounds, and 2.7 assists in prior games without Reaves.

Los Angeles Lakers guard Austin Reaves (calf) missed the last three games with a left-calf strain, but he will be able to return to action on Tuesday against the Suns. His return is well-timed since Luka Doncic (leg) has been ruled out for the contest, giving Reaves a massive role if he's ready to pick it up. Reaves is averaging 27.8 points, 5.6 rebounds, and 6.7 assists per game in his 21 games this season, and he has been able to pick up even more work when Luka has been out.

Los Angeles Lakers guard Austin Reaves (calf) has picked up a questionable designation on the injury report ahead of Tuesday's matchup against the Phoenix Suns. He has missed three games with a left calf strain but is on the cusp of returning to the lineup. On Monday, Reaves was a limited participant at practice, and the team considers him day-to-day. Luka Doncic (leg) has been ruled out for Tuesday night, and Reaves could have a massive role on the offensive end if he plays. However, if he remains out, Nick Smith Jr. and Dalton Knecht would presumably play a larger role. The two have not been trustworthy fantasy contributors.

The 27-year-old has averaged 31.1 points, 5.1 rebounds, 9.3 assists, and 1.4 steals per game as he helps steer the ship until LeBron James (back) returns. Reaves should be started in all formats, as he continues to reward fantasy owners who took a chance on him coming into the season.

Los Angeles Lakers guard Austin Reaves (groin) is considered questionable for Monday's contest against the Charlotte Hornets. A right groin strain could keep Reaves sidelined for a fourth consecutive game. Jake LaRavia has been starting during Reaves' absence and will continue to have additional fantasy value if he remains out on Monday. Over the last three games, LaRavia has averaged 10.7 points, 5.3 rebounds, 3.0 assists, and 1.7 steals. On Monday, LaRavia's productivity may even improve, considering the Hornets are ranked 24th in defensive efficiency while playing with the fourth-fastest pace in the league.

The 27-year-old has had a phenomenal 2025 campaign thus far, averaging 31.1 points, 9.3 assists, and 1.4 steals. Unfortunately, he'll now miss his third straight game because of a groin injury.

Los Angeles Lakers guard Austin Reaves (groin) won't be in uniform on Monday night when the team faces the Portland Trail Blazers. The Lakers, on the second night of a back-to-back, will also be without guard Luka Doncic (lower leg injury management). Center Deandre Ayton (back spasms) is questionable, while LeBron James (sciatica) and Gabe Vincent (ankle) remain out. It's a lengthy injury list for the Lakers, who appear content with taking a loss to the Trail Blazers. Marcus Smart should handle most of the ball-handling responsibilities.
