In their initial injury report for Friday's road matchup against the Washington Wizards, Reaves (calf) has been marked as questionable to play.

The updated status is a clear progress for the star guard, who has been out since Christmas Day for the Lakers due to a left calf strain.

Meanwhile, Luka Doncic is also questionnable due to left ankle soreness. This is an unfortunate sign as the Slovenian star notably got injured upon his accidental fall in the Cavaliers' elevated court in their 129-99 Wednesday loss in Cleveland.

The Lakers would hope that both franchise stars will be able to play, as the upcoming matchup with the Wizards will serve as the team's sixth road stop in eight consecutive games.
