Austin Reaves Returns to Lineup in Lakers' Rout of the Nets
- Lakers guard Austin Reaves is slated to return Tuesday in Brooklyn after missing 19 games, with JJ Redick saying he will come off the bench on a minutes restriction.
- After a late-December setback, the injury was announced on January 2 with a four-week re-evaluation, following a grade two calf strain and missed games. Redick said Reaves needs `100% confidence` before returning.
- ESPN reported that Reaves has been ramping up in `stay ready` sessions and participated in warmups on Tuesday, feeling good enough to play.
- With the standings tight, the Lakers sit sixth at 29-19 and are 3.5 games back of the Spurs, so Reaves’s return could provide a timely boost, Redick said.
- The team stressed caution, noting a four-to-six week window to preserve explosiveness, and Tuesday closed the Lakers' eight-game road trip with no trade-deadline moves.
