Austin Reaves
Lakers
Injury
Austin Reaves is anticipated to return to the Los Angeles Lakers lineup against the Charlotte Hornets on Monday after missing three games due to a groin injury, as reported by NBA Insider Chris B. Haynes. It’s uncertain if Reaves will have a minutes restriction, which may affect playing time for Jake LaRavia, who has been performing well in Reaves’ absence. Fantasy managers may consider holding LaRavia until it’s clear how Reaves’ return impacts his role on the team.
