The Los Angeles Lakers will be without Austin Reaves in uniform when they take on the Atlanta Hawks Monday evening at State Farm Arena in Atlanta.

The former Oklahoma Sooners star has been ruled out ahead of that contest, according to NBA insider Brett Siegel of ClutchPoints.

In a separate report, Dave McMenamin said that Reaves is dealing with an illness.

Reaves is coming off a prolific scoring performance in Sunday's 121-116 victory over Cade Cunningham and the Detroit Pistons at Little Caesars Arena in Detroit. With Luka Doncic unavailable, Reaves stepped up and delivered a huge scoring performance to lead the way for Los Angeles, scoring 43 points on 14-for-27 shooting from the field with four 3-pointers, five rebounds and four assists in 37 minutes of action.
