WASHINGTON\u00a0\u2014\u00a0The Lakers<\/a> have upgraded guard Austin Reaves<\/a> (left calf strain) to questionable from out and listed guard Luka Doncic<\/a> (left ankle soreness) as questionable for Friday night\u2019s game against the Washington Wizards.<\/p>\n

Reaves has been out since getting injured on Christmas Day against the Houston Rockets, a span of 17 games.<\/p>\n

In the 23 games this season Reaves played, Reaves is averaging career highs in points (26.6), assists (6.3) and rebounds (5.2). Reaves is shooting 50.7% from the field and 36.5% from three-point range.<\/p>\n

Doncic injured his ankle during the Lakers\u2019 blowout loss to the Cavaliers<\/a> on Wednesday night after falling off the side<\/a> of Cleveland\u2019s raised court while shooting a fadeaway three-pointer in the first quarter.<\/p>\n

He hobbled to the Lakers\u2019 locker room and was unable to put any weight on his leg. But Doncic did return to play and finished the game with 29 points, six assists and five rebounds.<\/p>\n

Doncic leads the NBA in scoring at 33.6 points per game and is third in assists at 8.7.<\/p>\n

\u201cI kind of got scared,\u201d Doncic told reporters after the game in Cleveland. \u201cIt wasn\u2019t a great feeling and looking back at the video, I think I got a little bit lucky. It hurts obviously more now, but, just, I tried to go.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"WASHINGTON\u00a0\u2014\u00a0The Lakers have upgraded guard Austin Reaves (left calf strain) to questionable from out and listed guard Luka…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":569633,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[3790],"tags":[57205,5061,1013,7,22798,305,509,38,142,4034,1698,300,4044,251,150,4033,4043,368,6,65,3024,3039,3153,9753],"class_list":["post-569632","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-los-angeles-lakers","tag-ankle-soreness","tag-assist","tag-austin-reaves","tag-basketball","tag-blowout-loss","tag-cleveland","tag-doncic","tag-friday","tag-game","tag-la","tag-la-lakers","tag-lakers","tag-lalakers","tag-los-angeles","tag-los-angeles-lakers","tag-losangeles","tag-losangeleslakers","tag-luka-doncic","tag-nba","tag-point","tag-reaves","tag-rebound","tag-three-point-range","tag-wednesday-night"],"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/channels.im\/@nba\/115981246095343686","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/569632","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=569632"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/569632\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/569633"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=569632"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=569632"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=569632"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
