Lakers List Austin Reaves Questionable for Knicks as Calf Return Nears

Team officials stress full clearance to protect his long-term health.

Overview

  • Reaves is listed as questionable for Sunday at Madison Square Garden after being ruled out Friday in Washington.
  • Head coach JJ Redick says Reaves has had no setbacks and is on schedule, with the team waiting for full confidence and 100% clearance.
  • The guard has missed 18 consecutive games, and 21 of the last 23, since a left calf strain sidelined him on Christmas Day.
  • His return would add a high-usage playmaker, ease creation duties for Luka Dončić and LeBron James, and restore pick-and-roll chemistry with Deandre Ayton.
  • The latest report also lists Bronny James as questionable with left leg soreness, while Adou Thiero remains out with a right MCL sprain.
