Los Angeles Lakers guard Austin Reaves will not play Sunday after suffering an injury on Nov. 11.
Reaves has a bruised heel and is considered day-to-day, coach JJ Redick said. Reaves and the Lakers’ medical staff opted against having imaging done on the injury.
Reaves is listed as "out" for Sunday's game on the NBA's injury reports released on Saturday, Nov. 14. It will be just the second game that he will have missed this season. He did not play in the Lakers’ 124-114 victory over the Atlanta Hawks on Nov. 9 due to illness.
The initial injury diagnosis had left the door open for Reaves to potentially play against the Phoenix Suns on Sunday, Nov. 15. But, he will not be suiting up.
He suffered the injury in an awkward landing on his left heel after missing a transition dunk attempt in the third quarter Wednesday against the Milwaukee Bucks.
Reaves and the Lakers had several days off to recover between games, but it apparently wasn't enough for the guard to be ready.
