He went down attempting to score on a contested fast-break dunk in the third quarter and did not return.\n\nInitial X-rays came back negative, which counts as good news for a team that has leaned heavily on Reaves this season. He will undergo further evaluation to determine the full extent of the damage, so the Lakers are not yet in the clear.\n\nDespite losing one of their best players mid-game, Los Angeles closed out the win, pushing their streak to seven straight. That kind of result without a full-strength roster says something about the depth the team has managed to piece together, even if nobody is eager to test it further.\n\nThe bigger question now is how long Reaves might be out and whether this nags at him the way lower-body injuries tend to linger. The Lakers will presumably update his status as more tests come back.","published_at":"2026-11-13T00:34:32.675934+00:00","source_count":4,"written_from":[{"outlet":"Yahoo Sports","publisher":"Yahoo Sports","title":"Austin Reaves suffers heel injury vs. Bucks, x-rays negative","url":"https://sports.yahoo.com/articles/austin-reaves-suffers-heel-injury-035732577.html"},{"outlet":"ESPN","publisher":"ESPN","title":"Reaves exits with heel injury as banged-up Lakers win 7th straight","url":"https://www.espn.com/nba/story/_/id/50459249/reaves-exits-heel-injury-banged-lakers-win-again"},{"outlet":"New York Post","publisher":"New York Post","title":"Lakers’ Austin Reaves leaves game vs Bucks with lower-body injury","url":"https://nypost.com/2026/11/11/sports/austin-reaves-injury-lakers-bucks/"},{"outlet":"The Athletic","publisher":"The Athletic","title":"Lakers' Austin Reaves leaves game with left heel injury","url":"https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/7775127/2026/11/11/austin-reaves-lakers-heel-injury/"}],"more_coverage":[{"outlet":"Yahoo Sports","publisher":"Yahoo Sports","title":"Lakers Injury Report: Austin Reaves Returns, Quentin Grimes Uncertain vs Bucks","url":"https://sports.yahoo.com/articles/lakers-injury-report-austin-reaves-190000371.html"},{"outlet":"Yahoo Sports","publisher":"Yahoo Sports","title":"Austin Reaves injury update: What we know after Lakers star hobbles to locker room","url":"https://sports.yahoo.com/articles/austin-reaves-injury-know-lakers-025454498.html"},{"outlet":"Yahoo Sports","publisher":"Yahoo Sports","title":"Luka Dončić leaves for locker room; Austin Reaves (heel) ruled out of Lakers-Bucks game","url":"https://sports.yahoo.com/nba/breaking-news/article/luka-doncic-leaves-for-locker-room-austin-reaves-heel-ruled-out-of-lakers-bucks-game-033100754.html"},{"outlet":"Yahoo Sports","publisher":"Yahoo Sports","title":"Austin Reaves injured as Lakers win seventh in a row","url":"https://sports.yahoo.com/articles/austin-reaves-injured-lakers-win-034153374.html"},{"outlet":"Yahoo Sports","publisher":"Yahoo Sports","title":"Luka Dončić 'good' after injury scare; Austin Reaves slated for imaging after injuring heel vs. Bucks","url":"https://sports.yahoo.com/nba/breaking-news/article/luka-doncic-good-after-injury-scare-austin-reaves-slated-for-imaging-after-injuring-heel-vs-bucks-041627183.html"},{"outlet":"Yahoo Sports","publisher":"Yahoo Sports","title":"Austin Reaves Injury: Lakers Star Exits Bucks Game","url":"https://sports.yahoo.com/articles/austin-reaves-injury-lakers-star-060007926.html"},{"outlet":"Yahoo Sports","publisher":"Yahoo Sports","title":"Lakers’ Austin Reaves getting imaging after early exit vs. Bucks","url":"https://sports.yahoo.com/articles/lakers-austin-reaves-getting-imaging-030042817.html"},{"outlet":"New York Post","publisher":"New York Post","title":"Luka Doncic’s, Austin Reaves’ injury scares dose of scary deja vu for Lakers","url":"https://nypost.com/2026/11/12/sports/luka-doncics-austin-reaves-injury-scares-dose-of-scary-deja-vu/"},{"outlet":"Yahoo Sports","publisher":"Yahoo Sports","title":"JJ Redick addresses Austin Reaves’ injury as Lakers’ seven-game win streak might be in jeopardy","url":"https://sports.yahoo.com/articles/jj-redick-addresses-austin-reaves-075447613.html"}],"image":null,"embed":null,"license":"https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/","attribution":"Analysis data is licensed CC BY 4.0.
