The Los Angeles Lakers recently welcomed back Austin Reaves from injury against the New York Knicks as the young guard had missed the prior two contests due to a calf injury.

Starting forward Rui Hachimura (knee) missed his fourth straight game and will be reassessed on Friday before a four-game road trip that begins Saturday night in Boston.

However, right now, L.A. is short-handed. Forward Rui Hachimura suffered a case of patellar tendinopathy on Thursday versus the Minnesota Timberwolves and has been out since. In addition, guards Austin Reaves and Jordan Goodwin sat out Sunday's win over the Los Angeles Clippers with a calf strain and ankle sprain, respectively.

Los Angeles Lakers guard Austin Reaves underwent an MRI on Saturday which revealed no serious injury to his right calf, according to Shams Charania. Reaves will be listed as day-to-day and could play as soon as Sunday against the Los Angeles Clippers .
