Reaves notably came off the bench in the Lakers' 132-108 loss against the Phoenix Suns on Tuesday. That game marked his return after a three-game absence due to a left calf strain.

He dropped 17 points, two boards and two assists on a losing effort.

Meanwhile, the Lakers also announced a major status update regarding Luka Doncic.
