The Los Angeles Lakers lost one of their offensive engines late in Wednesday’s game against the Milwaukee Bucks.

Austin Reaves was ruled out by the Lakers in the fourth quarter with a left heel injury.

The 28-year-old guard had 18 points, five assists, three rebounds and three steals in 25 minutes of action before being forced to exit.

It is unclear how Reaves suffered the injury.

The six-foot-five Reaves entered the night averaging 25.3 points, 4.6 assists and 3.4 rebounds on 50.8 per cent shooting from the field and 41.3 per cent shooting from three across his first 11 games of the 2026-27 season.
