What happened

Quentin Grimes was the only Lakers player unavailable entering Milwaukee, while Luka Dončić rolled his ankle late and Austin Reaves left with a left heel issue.

JJ Redick said Dončić would have been on the floor instead of Sexton when the ankle tweak happened, after Sexton exited earlier with an incidental headbutt.
