Reaves (rest) will not play in Wednesday's preseason game against the Mavericks, NBA reporter Jovan Buha reports.
EDGE Analysis
After dropping 25 points in Tuesday's preseason matchup against the Suns, Reaves won't suit up. The next chance for the rising star to return to the floor will be the Lakers' preseason finale against the Kings on Friday.

Reaves totaled 25 points (8-16 FG, 2-6 3Pt, 7-8 FT), four rebounds, two assists, one steal and one block over 31 minutes in Tuesday's 113-104 preseason loss to the Suns.
EDGE Analysis
Reaves and Luka Doncic powered the offense Tuesday, each scoring 25 points on efficient shooting. Coming off a breakout 2024-25 campaign where he averaged 20.2 points, 5.8 assists, 4.5 rebounds and 1.1 steals across 73 regular-season games, the Oklahoma product will look to sustain that level of play as the Lakers aim to contend this season.

Reaves recorded 21 points (7-10 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 5-5 FT), three rebounds, three assists, one steal and a block in 22 minutes during Sunday's 126-116 preseason win over the Warriors.
EDGE Analysis
Reaves was the team's high scorer Sunday, and he did it in an efficient fashion. He has now gone over 20 points in each of his two preseason appearances. Reaves played a typical amount of minutes considering it was a preseason game, but it should be noted that he was clearly labored in his last couple of minutes on the floor. Head Coach JJ Redick said postgame that Reaves took a knee to his lower leg, but he should be fine. Although this is unlikely to impact his outlook for the regular season opener, his availability for Tuesday's preseason game against the Suns is something to monitor.

Reaves (undisclosed) will play in Sunday's preseason game against the Warriors, Jovan Buha of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
Reaves didn't play in Los Angeles' last preseason game, Oct. 5, for undisclosed reasons, though it was likely just a maintenance day for the veteran. Including Sunday's game, the Lakers will have four more exhibitions ahead of Opening Night.

Reaves will not play during Sunday's preseason game against the Warriors for undisclosed reasons, Dan Woike of The Athletic reports.

Reaves racked up 20 points (6-11 FG, 1-5 3Pt, 7-7 FT), three rebounds, two assists and two turnovers across 21 minutes in Friday's 103-81 preseason loss to the Suns.
EDGE Analysis
Reaves was cooking from the jump in this one, dropping in 16 of the Lakers' first 26 points, as the go-to guy on offense sans Luka Doncic (rest) and LeBron James (pinched nerve). He'll again be an important piece to this Lakers team this upcoming season and will look to build off his stellar 2024-25 campaign.

Reaves accumulated 12 points (5-14 FG, 2-10 3Pt), five rebounds and two assists in 41 minutes during Wednesday's 103-96 loss to the Timberwolves in Game 5 of the first round of the Western Conference playoffs.
EDGE Analysis
Reaves played a muted role in Wednesday's loss, once again experiencing shooting woes as the Lakers fell 4-1 to the Timberwolves. The 26-year-old guard struggled with efficiency during the Lakers' first-round series, averaging 16.2 points, 5.4 rebounds and 3.6 assists while shooting 41.1 percent from the field and 31.9 percent from downtown across 39.4 minutes per game. The rising star had a career-best season in the 2024-25 campaign, finishing with averages of 20.2 points, 5.8 assists, 4.5 rebounds, 2.7 three-pointers and 1.1 steals across 34.9 minutes per contest in 73 regular-season games. Reaves is entering the penultimate season of his four-year pact, though he holds a player option for the 2026-27 campaign.

Reaves had 17 points (6-14 FG, 5-12 3Pt), seven rebounds, four assists, two blocks and one steal in 35 minutes during Sunday's 116-113 loss to Minnesota in Game 4 of the first round of the Western Conference playoffs.
EDGE Analysis
Despite a solid stat line, Reaves had a difficult fourth quarter, hitting 2-of-7 from the field in that frame -- he also missed a potential game-tying three-pointer at the end of regulation. With the Lakers down 3-1, the series will shift back to Minnesota for Game 5 on Wednesday.

Reaves provided 16 points (7-14 FG, 0-6 3Pt, 2-2 FT), five rebounds and five assists in 43 minutes during Tuesday's 94-85 win over Minnesota in Game 2 of the first round of the Western Conference playoffs.
EDGE Analysis
Reaves hasn't had the best series throughout two games, with the rising star especially struggling from beyond the arc, going a combined 3-for-14. The 26-year-old guard will have another shot to get back on track Friday, with the series now shifting to Minnesota for the next two games.
