Austin Reaves Expected to Return During Lakers' Road Trip

Austin Reaves (calf) is progressing well in his recovery and is expected to return during the Lakers' current eight-game road trip, according to head coach JJ Redick. While he is ruled out for Tuesday's game in Denver, the 27-year-old guard should be back by early February at the latest, as the road trip concludes on Feb. 3 in Brooklyn. Reaves will likely be on a minutes restriction upon his return, which will reduce playing time for teammates like Jake LaRavia, Gabe Vincent, and Dalton Knecht.
