Reaves has been sidelined since Christmas Day, and his absence has been felt on both ends of the court.
Head coach JJ Redick provided an encouraging update on Reaves' recovery, revealing that the Lakers guard is starting to look like his pre-injury self on the court, noting that Reaves has been participating in 3-on-3 drills and will soon be ready for stay-ready games, per Lakers reporter Khobi Price.
Reaves was having a career-best season before the injury, averaging 26.6 points, 6.3 assists, and 5.2 rebounds per game.
Reaves' absence has forced LeBron James and Luka Doncic to carry heavier loads, and the team has suffered multiple double-digit losses during his recovery.
With six games remaining on the current road trip, Reaves' return could come closer to the end, giving him time to fully ramp up and avoid any setbacks.
