Austin Reaves Out Four Weeks with Grade 2 Calf Strain

Lakers guard Austin Reaves has been diagnosed with a grade 2 strain in his left calf and will be reevaluated in four weeks. This marks his second calf issue in less than two weeks, having previously missed three games with a mild strain in the same calf. Reaves, the Lakers' second-leading scorer, is averaging career highs of 26.6 points, 6.3 assists, and 5.2 rebounds, and notably scored a career-high 51 points in October. The team will need to adjust without him.
