The LA Lakers made a big announcement about Austin Reaves on Friday. The Lakers guard was listed on the injury report. According to ESPN's Dave McMenamin. Reaves had suffered a mild left calf strain. The team hasn't released further details about Reaves' injury. McMenamin also added that Reaves would be re-evaluated in one week. The unfortunate news comes shortly after the eye-opening loss to the San Antonio Spurs on Wednesday. If Reaves returns within the timeline, the Lakers will play only two games before he takes the court. They will play the Phoenix Suns and the Utah Jazz in the next eight days. The NBA witnessed a meteoric rise of Austin Reaves this season. The undrafted player is now second behind Luka Doncic to lead the Lakers' offense, and in his absence, LeBron James will be expected to share offensive overload alongside Doncic. In 21 games this season, Reaves has averaged 27.8 points, 5.6 rebounds and 6.7 assists per game. He is shooting 50.3% from the field and 36.9% from the 3-point line. Do Lakers have a problem keeping both LeBron James and Austin Reaves on the floor?After Austin Reaves' struggles in the last two games, there are concerns rising about him sharing the floor with LeBron James. While both James' and Reaves' production is positive with Luka Doncic on the floor, it has been a different story when Doncic is on the bench. According to LakeShow Life's Tyler Watts, before the Lakers faced the Spurs on Wednesday, both James and Reaves had a -1.1 net rating when they shared the floor. "Both players want to get going with Luka on the bench, but they are struggling to find the balance. Reaves has struggled in the last three with James playing better," Watts wrote. Moreover, the Lakers are already one of the worst defensive teams in the league. With two of their top offense executors struggling to find a way to maximize each other, it could become a recipe for disaster come playoff time. However, the issue isn't that grim that the Lakers couldn't solve with plenty of season still left to play. Moreover, LeBron James has also shown that he can take a backseat to Reaves, who has also had two 30-point and a 40-point game with James sharing the court with him. Although James struggled to put the ball in the basket against the Toronto Raptors last week, he took a back seat to Reaves, who ended the game with a season-high 44 points.
