The Lakers say Austin Reaves has a bruised left heel, but he and the team’s medical staff decided against further imaging. The update suggests the injury may be less serious than feared, although it does not confirm when he will return.

He had 18 points, five assists, three rebounds and three steals in 25 minutes; his X-rays were negative. Before the game, he was averaging 25.3 points, 4.6 assists and 3.4 rebounds across nine games, while shooting 50.8 per cent from the field and 41.3 per cent from three-point range.
