Austin Reaves Out Indefinitely With Grade II Oblique Strain, Playoffs In Doubt

Things just keep getting worse. On the heels of losing Luka Dončić likely for the postseason (unless the Lakers pull off a miracle or two) they learned Saturday that Austin Reaves will also be sidelined indefinitely, with a left oblique strain. He will miss the rest of the regular season, and almost surely at least the beginning of the first round. Likely all of it. Making those miracles noted above far less likely. And to make matters worse, Marcus Smart won't play Sunday, and Jarred Vanderbilt is questionable. The Lakers are running out of dudes. So what does this mean for the Lakers, now and down the road? None of it is good. HOSTS: Andy and Brian Kamenetzky Everydayer Club If you never miss an episode, it’s time to make it official.
