To say that the Los Angeles Lakers will be shorthanded against the San Antonio Spurs on Tuesday night would be an understatement.
Star guard Luka Doncic will miss his third consecutive contest due to a hamstring strain and star forward LeBron James has also been ruled out of the game due to left foot arthritis.
Austin Reaves ruled out vs. Spurs due to injury management
The Lakers will also be without Austin Reaves against San Antonio. Reaves has also been ruled out of the game due to left calf injury management.
Reaves recently returned to game action after an extended stay on the sideline due to a left calf strain. Given the fact that the Lakers just played last night, the team is likely just being cautious with the fifth-year guard.
The game against San Antonio will Reaves' first missed game since returning from injury earlier this month.
On the season, Reaves has played in 27 games for L.A. and posted averages of 25.7 points, 6.0 assists, 5.1 rebounds and 1.0 steal per performance.
Without their three top scorers playing, it will likely be very difficult for the Lakers to pull out a win over the Spurs on Tuesday night, though not impossible. Crazier things have certainly happened.
