Lakers' Reaves Ruled Out Against Suns

The Lakers have ruled Austin Reaves out of Sunday’s game against the Phoenix Suns because of a bruised left heel sustained Wednesday against Milwaukee. X-rays were negative, and coach JJ Redick said the team did not see a need for additional imaging; Reaves also missed Saturday’s practice. His absence interrupts a seven-game winning streak and leaves Los Angeles without a key scoring partner for Luka Doncic, though Doncic has been cleared to play. Reaves is averaging 24.7 points per game this season, and the Lakers will have other players listed as questionable for the matchup.
