Lakers continue win streak, but status of star guards uncertain

The Lakers beat the Milwaukee Bucks 123-112 on Wednesday, extending their winning streak, but injuries to key guards clouded the result. Luka Dončić and Austin Reaves both left in the second half, leaving their status uncertain ahead of the team’s next games.

Dončić scored 32 points, with five rebounds, five assists and three steals, before leaving with a right ankle injury after a foul with 4½ minutes remaining. Reaves, who had 18 points, five assists, three rebounds and three steals in 25 minutes, was ruled out with a heel injury. Reserve guard Collin Sexton also exited with a facial cut after colliding with Ryan Rollins.
