The Lakers beat the Bucks, 123-112, but three guards left with injuries. Austin Reaves’ left heel is the biggest concern: X-rays were negative, and additional imaging is scheduled for Thursday. Luka Dončić expects to be fine after a light ankle tweak, while Collin Sexton needed stitches after a head collision.

By the Numbers
  • Los Angeles improved to 11-2 with the 123-112 win.
  • Reaves had 18 points in 25 minutes; Dončić led the Lakers with 32 points.
Yes, But

Negative X-rays are encouraging for Reaves, but they don’t rule out an injury; his availability remains unclear until further imaging. Dončić sounded confident about playing next game, but Sexton’s status has not been confirmed.

State of Play
  • The Lakers have three days off before hosting Phoenix on Sunday.
  • Reaves’ imaging is expected Thursday; no return timeline has been set.
What's Next

Thursday’s imaging should clarify the extent of Reaves’ injury. The Lakers are expected to have more recovery time before their Sunday game, but Sexton’s availability also remains uncertain.

Bottom Line

The win keeps Los Angeles rolling, but the team’s next challenge is getting clarity on Reaves and ensuring its backcourt is healthy for Sunday.
