Lakers’ Reaves and Doncic Hurt in Win Over Bucks

The Los Angeles Lakers extended their winning streak to seven games with a victory over the Milwaukee Bucks in Milwaukee on November 11. The win was their 11th of the season, but injuries to Austin Reaves and Luka Doncic left the team with concerns as its road trip nears its end.

Reaves hurt his left heel when he came down on a single leg after dunking. Coach JJ Redick addressed the injury after the game. The update indicated there was no concern that Reaves had injured his Achilles tendon.

Doncic tweaked his ankle late in the game while closing out near the three-point line. He was visibly in pain on the floor, but got up to take two free throws before leaving the game. Afterward, he said the ankle hurt but expected to be all right.

The Lakers have three days off before facing the Phoenix Suns in the final game of their four-game road trip on Sunday. The break gives both players time to recover before the matchup in Phoenix.
