Reaves (calf) has been ruled out for Monday's game against the Bulls.

EDGE Analysis

Reaves has progressed enough in his recovery from a left calf strain to engage in full-contact work in practice. He's not quite ready to return to the Lakers' lineup, and his next opportunity to do so is Wednesday against the Cavaliers.

Head coach JJ Redick said that Reaves scrimmaged Saturday and that Reaves should be able to return "sooner than later," Dan Woike of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Redick said he wants Reaves to get through at least one more full-contact practice before he's cleared, but it sounds like he'll be back at some point during the Lakers' road trip. Reaves next chance to play will come Monday in Chicago.

Reaves (calf) has been ruled out for Saturday's game against the Mavericks.

EDGE Analysis

Reaves will miss his 15th straight game while recovering from a left calf strain. Prior to the injury, the guard was averaging 26.6 points, 6.3 assists, 5.2 rebounds and 1.0 steals across 23 appearances, and while he won't return Saturday, there's optimism that the 27-year-old could be back during the Lakers' current road trip, with Monday against the Bulls representing his next chance to take the floor. In the meantime, Marcus Smart and Jake LaRavia should continue to see expanded roles.

Reaves (calf) is out for Thursday's game against the Clippers, Dave McMenamin of ESPN.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Reaves is getting closer to a return, as head coach JJ Redick previously noted that Reaves would be back before the Lakers' road trip ended Feb. 3. However, the standout wing won't be making his return to the hardwood Thursday night. His absence has opened up more opportunities for Jake LaRavia and Marcus Smart. Reaves' next chance to play will come Saturday at Dallas.

Head coach JJ Redick said Tuesday that Reaves (calf) is progressing well in his recovery and will return sometime during the Lakers' eight-game road trip, Dave McMenamin of ESPN.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Although Reaves has already been ruled out for Tuesday's game in Denver, this update bodes well for his chances of returning in the near future. He hasn't played since Dec. 25 due to a left calf strain. The Lakers' road trip ends Feb. 3 in Brooklyn, so the 27-year-old guard should return by early February at the latest, barring any setbacks. While Reaves will likely be on a minutes restriction whenever he's cleared to play, his return will leave fewer minutes available for the likes of Jake LaRavia, Gabe Vincent, Marcus Smart and Dalton Knecht.

Reaves has been diagnosed with a Grade 2 left gastrocnemius strain and will be re-evaluated in approximately four weeks, Dan Woike of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Reaves exited Thursday's loss to the Rockets with the calf injury, and the diagnosis confirmed the star guard will be sidelined for an extended period. The loss of Reaves means Marcus Smart, Dalton Knecht, Nick Smith and potentially Bronny James could be in line for more minutes in the Lakers' backcourt. Reaves is averaging a career-high 26.2 points per game, so his absence will be a huge blow for the Lakers, as they'll have to rely even more on Luka Doncic and LeBron James to carry the team offensively.

Reaves will not return to Thursday's game against the Rockets due to left calf soreness, NBA reporter Chris Haynes reports.

EDGE Analysis

Reaves played in the first half and will finish his performance with 12 points (5-8 FG, 2-5 3Pt), one rebound, one assist and one block in 15 minutes. Reaves previously missed three games with a calf injury before returning Tuesday against the Suns and playing 22 minutes. Given the situation, it wouldn't be surprising if he sat out Sunday's game against the Kings. For now, he should be considered questionable for that contest.

Reaves recorded 17 points (6-11 FG, 1-5 3Pt, 4-5 FT), two rebounds and two assists across 22 minutes off the bench during Tuesday's 132-108 loss to Phoenix.

EDGE Analysis

Returning from a three-game absence due to a calf strain, Reaves was eased in as part of the second unit and was the only bench player for the Lakers to score in double digits. The fifth-year guard has scored 10-plus points in all 22 of his appearances this season, averaging 27.3 points, 6.5 assists, 5.4 boards, 2.7 threes and 1.0 steals in 36.2 minutes.

Reaves is not in the Lakers' starting lineup against the Suns on Tuesday, Daniel Starkand of LakersNation.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Reaves has been cleared to return from a three-game absence due to a left calf strain. Even with Luka Doncic (leg), Gabe Vincent (back) and Rui Hachimura (groin) sidelined for Tuesday's contest, the Lakers will play it conservatively by having Reaves come off the bench while Nick Smith enters the starting lineup for the first time this season.

Reaves (calf) will play in Tuesday's game against the Suns, Khobi Price of The Orange County Register reports.

EDGE Analysis

Reaves is ready to end a three-game absence with a left calf strain. Given that he missed just over a week of action, the star guard may face any significant restrictions Tuesday. Reaves has averaged 26.1 points, 5.8 rebounds, 5.4 assists and 0.9 steals in 36.5 minutes per contest over his last 14 games.
