What happened

Austin Reaves limped off with a heel injury in Milwaukee, and JJ Redick said X-rays were negative, with more imaging scheduled for Thursday.

Luka Dončić also exited late with a right ankle injury, said he was fine afterward, and the Lakers won 123-112 for their seventh straight.

LINEUP CONTEXT

If either guard is limited, Los Angeles may need extra ball-handling and scoring from the bench, but Thursday imaging will clarify availability.
