Overview

  • Austin Reaves came back after three games out with a right groin strain, moving from questionable to probable at shootaround and finishing with 24 points, seven assists, five rebounds and two steals in 29 minutes.
  • Los Angeles improved to 8-3 with a 121-111 road victory, seizing control with a 31-15 third quarter on the second game of a five-contest trip.
  • Luka Doncic led the scoring with 38 points and added seven assists and six rebounds, extending his role as the Lakers’ primary offensive engine.
  • Head coach JJ Redick said LeBron James practiced with the South Bay Lakers after being cleared for contact; he is not expected to play on this road trip and has no firm return date.
  • With the backcourt closer to full strength, Bronny James was a healthy DNP as the rotation tightened to nine players; the trip continues at Oklahoma City on Wednesday.
