## Summary

The Los Angeles Lakers beat the Milwaukee Bucks 123-112 on Wednesday, but guard Collin Sexton needed multiple stitches after a collision left him with a deep cut above his right eye. The injury added to a night of concern for the Lakers, as Austin Reaves and Luka Dončić also had injury scares.

Sexton and Bucks guard Ryan Rollins headbutted midway through the fourth quarter, and play stopped with 6:51 remaining when Sexton was seen bleeding; the exact number of stitches was not known. Reaves left in the third quarter with a heel injury: his X-rays were negative, and he was due for further imaging on Thursday, with coach JJ Redick ruling out an Achilles injury. Dončić briefly clutched his right ankle after making a 23-foot jumper, then got up and made a free throw; he said afterwards that he was “good”.
